More than 85 million children
to be immunized against polio in 19 countries:
More than 85 million children
under age five will be immunized against polio in 19
countries across West and Central Africa in a massive
example of cross-border cooperation aimed at stopping a
yearlong polio epidemic. Nine of the countries --
Burkina Faso, Cameroun, Chad, Guinea, Liberia, Mali,
Mauritania, Senegal, and Sierra Leone -- are considered
to have active outbreaks of polio (i.e., cases within
the last six months).The campaign kicked off on 6 March
in these countries as well as in Benin, Cape Verde,
Central African Republic, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau,
and Nigeria. Cote d'Ivoire, Niger, and Togo will join at
a later date due to political transitions or
elections.This complex logistical operation is largely
made possible by US$30 million in funding released by
Rotary International. Read
