Thank you @Nathalie and @Lynette for your generous contributions towards the Countdown To History when Polio is eradicated forever.
#EndPolioNow
Most of the world has been rid of Polio for the last few decades...but, there are still cases among kids in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan and most recently in Gaza.
Plus...just a couple years ago cases popped up in New York proving that the disease is only a plane ride away.
With continued efforts around the world to vaccinate all children, Polio can be globally eliminated and become only the second disease in human history to be completely eradicated forever!
Strong routine immunization systems everywhere are critical to stopping transmission of polio, sustaining eradication, and eliminating and better controlling other vaccine-preventable diseases. #EndPolioNow
