Polio eradication this week:
-
World Polio Day on 24 October is an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come in the last year and to pay tribute to the countless healthcare workers, volunteers, families, traditional and religious leaders, governments, donors, civil society organizations and partners who work tirelessly to protect children against polio. Join Rotary International and UNICEF for a live streamed global update on 23 October and for updates throughout the week from the partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative follow @Vaccines on Twitter.
-
The Independent Monitoring Board met in London in October to assess progress towards polio eradication and to make recommendations for the coming months. The report is expected to be published in the next few weeks.- See more at: http://www.polioeradication.org/#sthash.Fc5r39tK.dpufWild poliovirus type 1 and Circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus cases
