Fact sheet:Polio Vaccination and Challenges to Eradication

globalhealth.org –

Poliomyelitis (polio) cases have decreased by more than 99 percent since 1988, when the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched.1 The disease remains endemic in just four countries: Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan. In the last decade, however, eradication efforts have been hindered by uneven vaccination coverage, viral mutations, and variable vaccine effectiveness.
