A project of @WaqarFoundation

The next Polio campaign is scheduled from 21 to 27 September and aims to protect nearly 31 million children.
Consistent vaccination is essential to eradicate polio.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

On this World Polio Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to what remains to be achieved.
The goal is within reach.
Ensure that every child, everywhere, grows up free from polio.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

The total number of Polio cases in Pakistan in 2025 reached 30 - including 19 cases from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, while in Afghanistan, a total of 9 Polio cases have been reported so far this year amid security concerns.

Ignorance plays a key role in why Polio hasn't been completely eradicated in certain regions of the world.

Persons with disabilities around the world experience health inequities.
These inequities are the result of unjust and unfair conditions they face, including stigma and discrimination, poverty, exclusion from education and employment, and barriers in the health system.

As long as just one child remains infected with Polio virus, all children are at risk.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

Polio is a lifelong illness.
It's a disability that worsens ... over time.
Vaccination is the only effective way to prevent the polio virus.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

Vaccine skepticism is one of the biggest contributors to the spread of the illness, as people often use fake vaccination markings.
Eradication efforts are also hampered by deadly militant attacks on eradication teams.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

Parents and caregivers must remain extremely vigilant & give their children repeated doses of polio vaccine.
Repeated immunizations have protected millions of
children from polio, allowing the world to become polio-free, except the 2 endemic countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan

[UNICEF Cameroon @unicefcameroon]

The work of community mobilisers is invaluable in raising awareness & building trust in the polio vaccine - the first critical step to reaching every child.
We remain deeply grateful for the heroic efforts of our vaccination heroes to build a @PolioFreeWorld @ForEveryChild.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

Immunizing every child is the most effective way to guard against a polio outbreak.
Due to its sustained high coverage of oral polio vaccines, the rest of world has almost controlled over polio virus, except few countries which are still struggling due to its poor policies.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

World Health Day is celebrated every year to raise awareness about the ongoing health issues that concern people across the world.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

It is important for policymakers and organizations to carry out routine immunization programs and conduct
'catch up' initiatives to cover those who may have missed out on immunizations.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

The drive to rid the polio affected region from polio virus is taking place as the specific region suffers from an economic paralysis & a widespread humanitarian crisis, which threatens most of the region's millions of population.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

Immunization workers need to have access to every household across the Polio affected territory.
Lack of awareness about Polio Virus & how to protect children against it remains one of the main problem.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

Covid_19 has taught everyone that virulent virus can travel swift across geographies, which is why the world must guard its hard_earned immunity against polio as stringently as possible.
We need to ensure if our children's are safe from this seemingly dormant threat.

[Polio Free World @PolioFreeWorld]

On world children's day, we need to take a step & force the government that no child in our surrounding should be deprived of basic health facility & education.

On the occasion of World's Polio Day 2021,
The world's efforts should be accelerated to eradicate the Polio virus in the virus struck region, especially in Afghanistan, where children's are caught up in so many challenges.
