Polio is a highly infectious disease that spreads through contaminated water or food, usually affects children under five, with around one in 200 infections resulting in paralysis. Of those paralysed 5–10% die due to crippled breathing muscles.

​

Thanks to a successful vaccination program, the United States has been polio-free since 1979.

But poliovirus is still a threat in some countries.

​

In developing countries the oral vaccine is used due to its low cost and accessibility, needing only two drops per dose. In western countries, a more expensive, injectable version of the vaccine – which contains an inactivated virus incapable of causing the disease – is used to prevent polio.

​

In 2019, new cases of polio linked to the oral vaccine have been reported in four African countries and more children are now being paralysed by vaccine-derived viruses than those infected by viruses in the wild, according to global health numbers.

​

The WHO reports that as long as a single child remains infected, all children are at risk of contracting the disease
