There have only been two recorded cases of wild polio virus infection in 2021, one case in Afghanistan and one case in Pakistan.
They were both detected in January. This is outstanding compared to a total of 140 cases in 2020.
More work needs to be done to reach rural and hard to reach communities and the need for ongoing funding to eradicate the disease completely remains.
All contributions will be matched 2:1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation again this year. Donate online here or contact the treasurer to make a donation through the club.
