I’m bear-y honored to receive this adorable bear carrying such an urgent message: #EndPolio. As countries convene for the polio pledging moment, it’s vital they heed this bear’s message and commit to consigning polio to history.

[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

The world made a promise to #EndPolio for good. No one should live in fear of this preventable disease.

The Gates Foundation is proud to commit $1.2B toward helping health workers stop all forms of this virus and protect children forever. https://t.co/oA7RNzcOIy

Did you know that the inventor of the teddy bear was a polio survivor?

As countries and donors come together to reaffirm their support for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, this bear is a reminder of everything we have to gain if we step up our commitment to #EndPolio.

[Gates Health @gateshealth]

In remembrance of HM Queen Elizabeth II, and in recognition of HM King Charles III’s support for polio eradication. Together, we can #EndPolio via @EndPolioNow @jay_wenger

[WHO Polio @WHO_Polio]

We have the tools and the expertise to #EndPolio. Now we need the funding. So long as polio exists anywhere, people everywhere will remain at risk. https://t.co/KhcqeCKz44

[Chris Elias @ChrisJElias]

Last month, polio was detected in London sewers. Today, a case of polio has been confirmed in New York.

While great progress has been made globally, we must continue to collaborate to eradicate this disease.

Implications of the recent isolation of variant polioviruses in the UK - I was quoted along with my colleagues in this well-written @Nature piece by @GiorgiaWithAnI. Have a read ! @EndPolioNow @gatesfoundation @gateshealth @postpolionews @kathmoreilly @VaccineEpi @WHOPolDirector

[Dr Hamid Jafari @Dr_HamidJafari]

Yesterday we attended the National Task Force Meeting chaired by PM of Pakistan, followed by the launch of the nationwide #polio campaign that will reach over 40 million children. It is synchronized with the campaign in Afghanistan that aims to reach nearly 10 million children

[Gates Foundation Middle East @GatesMiddleEast]

📢Yesterday, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative launched its investment case to #EndPolio by 2026.

We have the tools to wipe #polio off the earth for good. As new cases emerge in polio-free countries there is no time to lose for decisive global action.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Thank you @MoSalah for your words of support. Vaccines work to save lives, including against #COVID19. We hope the world will team up to vaccinate people at highest risk everywhere! #VaccinEquity

[WHO Afghanistan @WHOAfghanistan]

Last week’s announcement of two national #polio campaigns in Afghanistan, the first in more than 3.5 years, is a massive boost for eradication efforts. It’s not just about the access – the timing is also critical. #WPD2021

[Melinda French Gates @melindagates]

One of the @gatesfoundation’s top priorities is to #EndPolio—and women health workers are key to making it happen. #WorldPolioDay https://t.co/VAJFQ4Q5Jl
