Zero is the Magic Number! What is that Polio Eradication Picture? It's a picture of children being entertained while being protected from the paralysis of Polio. Can you imagine a line of 17,500,000 of these children? If they were holding hands, they would make a line about 2,476 miles long! That's about how many children we have saved from paralysis. And when we reach eradication, we will be saving an additional 500,000 more per year - Forever! Unfortunately, there was one new Wild Polio case this week. The three-year Countdown to History starts after the final Wild Polio case. But today, we start over on our count since the report of the most recent Wild Polio case.
