Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Africa has been declared free from wild polio by the independent body, the Africa Regional Certification Commission. Quote Twenty-five years ago thousands of children in Africa were paralysed by the virus. The disease is now only found in Afghanistan and Pakistan. There is no cure but the polio vaccine protects children for life. Nigeria is the last African country to be declared free from wild polio, having accounted for more than half of all global cases less than a decade ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
