There have been several recent outbreaks of polio. India, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia have all reported cases. With air travel, I think it's important to have the polio booster (for instance, they know the first cse in Indonesia came from Saudi). The cdc recommends it in general for travel, as do other travel health sites.
