The question I guess is, can I get polio when I'm past 40? Human beings of any age can get polio. It is a virus transmitted fecal-orally i.e. ingestion. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

The vaccine protects the traveller from the polio risk in India. Only a very misinformed person would not want to be vaccinated before travelling. Its like someone refusing to take a typhoid vaccine when travelling to an area with a typhoid epidemic.

One of the most culturally diverse countries in the world and very touristic. All religions of the world are found in India plus they have tonnes of different languages, amazing sites and wonders. Everybody wants to go to India. Its just a Polio Vaccine. And you can get one without having to kill anyone for it. Whats the big deal?
