World Polio Day (October 24) offers an opportunity to highlight global efforts toward a polio-free world and honor the tireless contributions of those on the front lines in the fight to eradicate polio from every corner of the globe.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is a public-private partnership led by national
governments with six partners – the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International,
the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children’s
Fund (UNICEF), Gates Foundation, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Its goal is to eradicate polio
worldwide. Together, we can #Makepoliohistory.
