It’s World Polio Day. Every year 24 October is celebrated as World Polio Day to highlight and support the ongoing global fight to end Polio. This day was established in 1985 to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk, who was the lead medical researcher of the team that developed a vaccine against polio. #PolioSurvivors #PostPolioAwareness #StillHere #PPS #PostPolio #PolioAwarenessMonth

Polio mainly affects children under 5, and there is no cure but only prevention. This Polio Awareness Month lets spread the word and support vaccination efforts to protect the next generation from Polio. #PolioSurvivors #PostPolioAwareness #StillHere #PPS #PostPolio #PolioAwarenessMonth

It’s 2024 and Polio still exists! An emergency vaccination campaign was conducted in three phases from 1-12 September in Gaza where 560000 children under ten years old were vaccinated. The campaign was implemented as part of an urgent and robust response to the confirmation of circulating variant poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) in Gaza, which was found in the environment in July 2024, and in a 10-month-old child in August 2024. #PolioSurvivors #PostPolioAwareness #StillHere #PPS #PostPolio #PolioAwarenessMonth
