THE NEED
Though wild polio is only endemic in two countries, polio is highly infectious and spreads rapidly. The disease, which
afflicts mainly children, is transmitted via contaminated water and food supplies, and can cause paralysis. Five to 10
percent of cases of paralytic polio are fatal. As long as any poliovirus threatens even one child anywhere in the world,
children everywhere are at risk. Only the global eradication of polio will ensure that no child ever again suffers its
devastating effects.
