By leveraging the polio infrastructure for COVID-19 vaccine delivery, the Government of 🇳🇬 & WHO Nigeria are laying the groundwork for increasing integrated delivery of vaccines & other health services, which is critical to achieve #UHC! 👉polioeradication.org/news-post/cros…

The GPEI has eliminated #polio in some of the most complex and challenging areas, and we aren't done yet. Hat tip to Rotary International, the original eradicators. #Rotarians are some of the most dedicated people you will ever meet.

Well said! Rotary International first had the vision of a World free of polio. This was not a pipe dream. #EndPolio is within reach. We can’t be complacent and Rotarians are not!

Surveillance has never been so important. Now is the time to pull out all the stops to intensify our search and find #poliovirus wherever it is hiding. We must find the virus and snuff it out before it finds us. #EndPolio

"Delivering on a promise" is the theme of the 2022-2026 polio strategy and I see a few layers in it. It's the promise I made to myself at the start of my career as an eradicator. But it's also the promise every parent makes to their children to protect them from #polio.

Indeed! Rotary International first had the vision of a world free of #polio and since hundreds of thousands of volunteers have been mobilized and millions of $ raised to #EndPolio once and for all.

In the coming campaign ensure all children all newborns, sick and sleeping babies are not left out. Don’t give #polio a chance to disable your children. Polio has no cure. Every child deserves a healthy start to life. #PolioFreeAfghanistan

DYK? Polio infrastructure and staff play a vital role in delivering #HealthForAll, including routine immunization, emergency response and disease surveillance. By retaining this capacity in polio-free settings, we are investing in stronger health systems! #UHCDay

Extremely important ! Actually critical that gender equity and equality be fully considered and fully integrated to guide eradication but also beyond! All public health interventions
