Milestones Towards the Eradication of Polio
Review all of the milestones on the long road to the eradication of polio, a goal we are close to reaching.
DDT
Why Do We Still Vaccinate If Polio Has Been Eliminated?
We can’t stop vaccinating against polio until it has been eradicated.
What Is the Morbidity/Mortality Rate of the Polio Vaccine vs the Wild Virus?
The benefits of getting vaccinated against polio clearly outweigh the risks.
Is There a DDT-Polio Connection?
DDT is a pesticide that was widely used after World War II and was sometimes sprayed in a vain attempt to keep polio outbreaks from getting out of control. That is the only connection to polio though.
