How far would you travel for End Polio Now? If you're Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Jennifer Jones, the answer is all the way to Antarctica 🐧 ❄️ No matter where you live, the message is simple: Together, we #EndPolio.

Every vaccine helps strengthen a child’s protection against preventable diseases. With support from WHO, UNICEF and partners, the Ministry of Health has already reached more than 34,000 children under five with polio vaccines in Deir Ez-zor, with further vaccination campaigns planned for next week. “Every child deserves protection from preventable diseases, including polio. UNICEF remains committed to supporting the Ministry of Health and partners in strengthening immunisation services and ensuring that no child is left behind,” said Meritxell Relaño Arana, UNICEF Representative in Syria. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to check their children’s vaccination status, complete any missed doses and participate in upcoming campaigns.

Did you know that global polio cases have dropped by over 99.9% since 1988? Canada has been a leader in expanding vaccination and strengthening public health systems, but this fight is not over. Let’s commit to achieving a polio-free world for all.

Somalia has made important progress in reaching zero-dose children, but continued #polio transmission and measles and diphtheria outbreaks demand urgent action. The upcoming polio campaigns, alongside targeted efforts to close immunity gaps and strengthen routine immunization, are critical. Strong government leadership, sustained domestic financing and accountability will be key to protecting every child. @WHOSom @WHO_Polio

Strong government leadership is essential to protecting #Somalia's children from polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases. At last week's high-level meeting, H.E. Prime Minister @HamzaAbdiBarre reaffirmed Somalia's commitment to ending polio, reaching zero-dose children and strengthening routine immunization. WHO and partners stand with Somalia to turn these commitments into action through quality vaccination campaigns, stronger immunization services and accountability at every level.
