Some retro polio posters from the archives ⬇️ It mattered then; it matters now. History has proven that progress is possible. Eradication may feel elusive, but with unity and determination, we can turn the tide. 🌍✨ #EndPolio

Bravo to Djibouti’s health workers for braving the heat to vaccinate around 155k children aged under five years against polio last week- especially critical as ongoing variant poliovirus outbreaks in the Horn of Africa risk spreading beyond borders. WHO Djibouti

Every child deserves to run, play and explore the world without fear of disease. Polio steals that freedom. This #InternationalDayOfPlay, we celebrate the right to play — and renew our promise to reach every child with life-saving vaccines. #EndPolio #ForEveryChild

We're on the threshold of ending polio forever, but aid cuts threaten to unravel decades of progress. 20 million kids are walking today because of global vaccination efforts — we can't abandon them now. Read UK Sarah Champion's urgent call: tinyurl.com/ycbzjj4n #EndPolio
