🌍 *24 October is World Polio Day, and the world is closer than ever to ending polio for good.*

👧 Polio mainly affects children under 5. It spreads easily and can attack the nervous system. About *1 in 200 infections can cause permanent paralysis*, and in severe cases, the muscles needed for breathing can stop working.

📉 Wild poliovirus cases have fallen by more than 99% since 1988 from around 350,000 cases in over 125 countries to continued endemic transmission in just two countries.

💉 There is *no cure for polio, but it can be prevented through vaccination*. Multiple doses can protect a child for life.

🤝 The fight against polio shows what global cooperation can achieve. Governments, health workers, communities and partners have helped millions of people avoid paralysis.

⚠️ But until polio is gone everywhere, children everywhere remain at risk. Finishing the job means keeping vaccination and disease surveillance strong.
