The detection of poliovirus in two children in Syria is a stark reminder that polio remains a threat wherever immunity gaps persist. Over 34,000 children have already been vaccinated in Deir Ezzor, with another campaign planned. Syria has stopped polio before. With urgency and determination, we can do it again. @WHO_Polio @UNICEFpolio @EndPolioNow
