The continuing fight against polio: A worldwide request to vaccinate.

Polio is a serious disease that mostly affects children. It used to be very common, but now it's almost gone thanks to vaccines.

Polio is caused by a virus that can spread easily from person to person. It can cause paralysis and even death in some cases.

There's no cure for polio, but there is a vaccine that can prevent it. The World Health Organization and partners are working hard to eradicate polio completely.

They have made amazing progress, but there are still some challenges. For example, it's difficult to reach every child with the vaccine in some parts of the world.

Despite the challenges, they are hopeful that they can eradicate polio soon. This would be a huge victory for global health.
