Oct. 24 is World Polio Day.
The polio vaccine has been hugely successful. The vaccine is administered orally and only a few doses
will protect children for life. Although the cost is rather low, it takes a tremendous effort and organisation
in order to get it where it is most needed. The Polio Eradication Effort strives to protect children
from this crippling disease.
The 24th of October has been chosen to commemorate the month in which Jonas Salk was born. Jonas Salk
was the leader of the team that invented the first polio vaccine in 1955.
