International and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative including the World
Health Organization, U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation and the Vaccine Alliance are proclaiming that the world is free of
Polio except for the countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Five Reasons to End Polio:
1. Polio causes paralysis and sometimes death.
2. Polio mainly affects children under the age of 5.
3. There is no cure, but it is preventable with a vaccine.
4. Only two countries remain endemic.
5. Until we end polio forever, every child is at risk.
6. We have reduced cases of Polio by 99.9 percent since 1988.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
