Polio in 2016. The Year in Review
In August, polio cases were reported in Nigeria – the first found in two years – amidst a wider humanitarian crisis.
A large-scale regional emergency response was immediately launched, reaching millions of children with polio vaccines to ensure that immunity was rapidly built up.
Continued focus on Nigeria is critical in the upcoming year, as we work to find every virus, protect the health of children and achieve widespread vaccine coverage.
