Polio once paralyzed hundreds of thousands of children every year. Thanks to the global polio eradication efforts, cases have fallen by 99.9% since 1988.
But polio is not gone yet.
Dr. Jamal Ahmad explains why #EndPolio still matters and what’s at stake if we don’t finish the job.

We could have eradicated polio by now. For the failure to do so, we may blame the CIA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_fake_vaccination_campaign_in_Pakistan.
There should be some accountability for that, United States.

Every drop counts. Every child matters. Meet the #polio vaccinators of #Afghanistan, working tirelessly to stop the virus and protect children today and for generations to come. We celebrate their commitment and thank them for bringing us closer to a polio-free world. #EndPolio

Today we renew our commitment: End Polio — Every Child, Every Vaccine, Everywhere. Polio is preventable. Vaccination works. Together we can finish what decades of health workers, volunteers, scientists and communities began.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
- Polio mainly affects children under five and can cause irreversible paralysis or death.
- Global vaccination campaigns have reduced wild poliovirus cases by over 99% in the last 35 years.
- Any missed child is a risk—gaps in immunization can allow the virus to return.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼
- Ensure every child in your care is fully immunized on schedule (including boosters).
- Support and share information about local vaccination drives.
- Practice and promote good sanitation and hand hygiene.
- Report suspected cases or unexplained acute flaccid paralysis to local health authorities.
- Donate time or resources to trusted organizations working on polio eradication.
𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀
- Polio spreads mainly via the fecal–oral route and through contaminated water/food.
- Vaccine-associated paralytic polio is extremely rare; the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.
- Continued surveillance and high immunization coverage are essential to keep communities safe.
𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁
Share this message, get informed, and help reach every child. Ending polio is possible — but only if no child is left behind.
