Polio remains in Afghanistan and Pakistan and is a disease that was eliminating in the Americas after the Salk vaccine was discovered in 1953. Mid-east children are still getting this paralyzing disease. If not eradicated it will come back to us.
We became polio free in the Americas (1994), Europe (2002), SE Asia (2014) and Africa (2020).
