Polio cases worldwide: 2017 = 22/3 endemic countries
Children still need to be vaccinated against polio.
If we were to stop our current vaccination efforts, within a decade we would see a resurgence of polio that could paralyze more than 200,000 children worldwide every year.
• Since 1988 polio vaccine has prevented more than 17 million cases of paralysis
• Since 1988 more than 850,000 deaths from polio have been prevented
• $40-$50 billion: The economic benefits of polio eradication are $40-50 billion through the year 2035.
• The net benefit of other services such as vitamin A delivery alongside polio vaccination: up to $90 billion in additional savings and the prevention of up to 5.4 million child deaths
Polio eradication is within our reach.
It will save lives.
It will prevent disability.
It will save money.
