The aim of the study was to assess the functional aspects and the staffing at Pulse Polio immunisations posts. Interns and medical students conducted the survey in eighty seven pulse polio immunisation posts scattered all over National Capital Territory of Delhi on 18th January 1997. A pre-tested structured format containing information pertaining to dose utilisation and staffing was filled. Number of children given pulse polio was on an average 459.2 per immunisation post (474.7 rural, 516.35 slums and 435.0 urban). Average number of neonates (below one month) per immunisation post given polio drops was 5.1 (1.1%). The break-up for rural area, slums and urban area was 3.0 (0.63%), 6.7 (1.30%) and 4.9 (1.13%) respectively. By 12 pm, 67.8% and by 2 pm 88.7% of the doses had been administered. Staffing at most of the immunisation posts was adequate for all categories of staff except doctors (0.48 per booth).

Importance: Vaccine responses are decreased in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, and given the complexity of implementation, vaccination programs may be suboptimal. The actual burden of vaccine-preventable infections (VPIs) among SOT recipients remains unclear.
Objectives: To assess the incidence rate of VPIs among SOT recipients and to evaluate whether SOT recipients are at increased risk for specific VPIs compared with the general population.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between heart rate and perceived exertion during maximal exercise tests and home-based aerobic training for individuals with neuromuscular diseases.
- Participants included those with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, post-polio syndrome, or other neuromuscular conditions, who engaged in a 4-month aerobic training program monitored through heart rates and perceived exertion ratings.
- Results showed a strong correlation between heart rate and perceived effort during testing, but notable differences in effort perception during training, suggesting potential issues with under- or over-training that healthcare professionals should consider.
