It was a great moment in the House of Friendship seeing Jennifer Jones recognized for her outstanding leadership, especially her support for polio eradication, by Mike Lake. It takes a team, and together, we #EndPolio!

Senegal's launch of the hexavalent vaccine is a game-changer. A single vaccine that protects children against diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, meningitis, pneumonia, hepatitis B, & polio. Congrats to the government & partners. #EndPolio bit.ly/4eyqtzF
