What is Polio?
• A crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, polio (poliomyelitis) still strikes children mainly under the age of five in countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
• Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes death. Because there is no cure for polio, the best protection is prevention through immunization shots.Polio might be a stranger to most of you all but with every effort you spent in making this event a success, a child can be protected against this disease for life with a vaccination for as little as US$0.60.
