Did you know that a global movement has brought polio cases down 99% since 1988 and saved 10 million people from paralysis? Yes, that’s right.
And did you know it only costs 60 cents to protect a child against polio for life? That’s also right.
Today, thanks to vaccination campaigns that have protected millions, the vast majority of the world is polio-free. Woop Woop, Clap, Clap, Yeah!
But there’s more. You should also know that wiping a disease from the face of the earth has never been easy, and the final push is now! Reaching the most vulnerable children with the polio vaccine leads the way to the delivery?of other life-saving resources. And ultimately – it leads to a world without extreme poverty.
Check out this awesome video (above) put together with our partners at Rotary and let’s tell Members of Congress thank you for their support and that sustained funding is critical to #EndPolio forever.
We are close to stopping polio once and for all – this #worldpolioday join the final push to #endpolio and protect the world’s children forever.
