Polio - Key facts
- Polio mainly affects children under 5 years of age.
- One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis.
- As long as a single child remains infected, children in all countries are at risk of contracting polio.
- Failure to eradicate polio from these last remaining strongholds could result in a global resurgence of the disease.
- In most countries, the global effort has expanded capacities to tackle other infectious diseases by building effective surveillance and immunisation systems.
