In early 2014, India made it mandatory for all visa applicants from Pakistan to produce a polio vaccination certificate. This measure was taken to prevent the importation of polio, as Pakistan was one of the few countries where polio was still endemic.

This question relates to international health regulations and specific bilateral requirements imposed by India concerning public health, particularly polio eradication efforts.

India was officially declared polio-free by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2014. Measures like mandatory vaccination certificates for travellers from polio-endemic countries were part of India’s strategy to maintain its polio-free status. Similar requirements were also applicable to travellers from other endemic countries like Afghanistan and Nigeria at that time.
