Every drop counts. Every child matters.

Meet the #polio vaccinators of #Afghanistan working tirelessly to stop the virus and protect children today and for generations to come.

We celebrate their commitment and thank them for bringing us closer to a polio-free world. #EndPolio

#Polio vaccinators are heroes! So we decided to hop on the generative AI trend and show you what a polio vaccinator starter kit looks like. Did you know❓ Polio eradication efforts have directly averted 20 million cases of paralysis. Yes, #VaccinesWork! #EndPolio

The partnership between Rotary and @who.int goes back since 1988. In fact, Rotary were the pathfinders in first proposing the #EndPolio idea – inspired by the historic eradication of smallpox.

And today, we are on the cusp of history, despite the setbacks.

I’m honored to receive a special award from Rotary International for my commitment to global polio eradication.

The fight isn’t over—we must continue to invest in vaccination and global health programs to finally #EndPolio.

The #PolioVaccine transformed global health, bringing us closer to eradicating an awful disease, thanks to the unwavering dedication of health workers worldwide.

Discussing the removal of this vaccine is a devastating setback for science and humanity. #VaccinesWork #EndPolio

We have the power to #EndPolio forever, but we need everyone to play their part.

Polio cases are down 99.9%, but we can't stop right before the finish line. We have the power to make history and end polio for good!

Polio vaccination is a dose of good news!

With support from our donors, UNICEF Afghanistan teams are reaching every child under 5 across #Afghanistan to protect them from this preventable disease.

Together, we can #EndPolio.

Polio once paralyzed hundreds of thousands of children every year. Thanks to the global polio eradication efforts, cases have fallen by 99.9% since 1988.

But polio is not gone yet.

Dr. Jamal Ahmad explains why #EndPolio still matters and what’s at stake if we don’t finish the job.
WHO's Science in 5 - Polio: Almost gone, not finished - 16 January 2026
Episode #146 / Januray 16, 2026 / Poliomyelitis Polio: 99.9% Defeated. What Will It Take to End It for Good? This disease once paralyzed hundreds of thousands of children every year, striking fear into families across the world. Thanks to global vaccination efforts, cases have fallen by 99.9% since 1988. But polio is not gone yet. In this episode of Science in 5, we speak with Dr. Jamal Ahmad about why polio eradication still matters, how close the world truly is to ending this disease forever, and what’s at stake if we don’t finish the job. Polio spreads easily, respects no borders, and remains a threat as long as it exists anywhere. With only a few cases left in two countries, the tools, knowledge, and partnerships are stronger than ever—but sustained political commitment and global cooperation are essential. Ending polio would mean no child is ever paralyzed by this disease again—and billions saved for health systems worldwide. 👉 Make sure all children are vaccinated 👉 Call on governments to keep supporting eradication 👉 Get involved through partners like Rotary Because eradication is all or nothing—and we are closer than ever.

Heute ist Welt-Polio-Tag. Der Wert internationaler Zusammenarbeit zeigt sich besonders bei den riesigen Erfolgen auf dem Weg zur Ausrottung von Polio. Und erneute Ausbrüche in Krisengebieten zeigen, wie wichtig die Zussamenarbeit auch in Zukubft bleibt. #endpolio

I was honored to be recognized by Rotary with a Lifetime Service Award for my support of polio eradication efforts.

Ending polio is within reach, but only if we continue investing in global health.

Thanks to the advocates who continue to keep this critical mission moving forward. #EndPolio

Behind every polio vaccination in Pakistan is a health worker from the community. These workers are chosen from within the communities they serve. They go door-to-door delivering polio vaccines, answering questions, and building trust where it matter most.

In response to recent polio cases in West and Central Darfur, #Sudan, UNICEF and partners like Rotary International supported an outbreak response campaign. Vaccinators like Hanan reached over 500,000 children under 5 to protect them from the disease. #EndPolio @endpolionow.bsky.social

Every day, we get closer to the day where we #EndPolio once and for all, and Rotarians have played a leading role in getting us there.

The push to #EndPolio is powered by community trust—and no one builds that trust like faith leaders.

In Nigeria, they're dispelling doubts to help every child receive vaccines during integrated campaigns, like this one supported by Global Affairs Canada and Rotary: https://endpol.io/4cyjSpS

This #WorldPolioDay, let’s stand together against #polio and ensure that every child receives the vaccine.
