Health workers are some of the many thousands of people who deserve our thanks today, working across the world to reach even the most hard to access children with polio vaccines. UNICEF This World Polio Day, We Say Thank You
On 24 October, people around the world are voicing their gratitude for the incredible efforts of countless people to eradicate polio.
Join the partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative today in saying thank you to all the people working tirelessly to make a polio-free future into a reality. The legacy of polio eradication will make a tangible difference in the lives of each of us- whether by protecting your family from paralysis, or enabling your children to be born into a world entirely free from the threat of the virus.
Bill Gates, WHO Director General Dr Margaret Chan and some of the people at the heart of the outbreak response in the Middle East are saying thank you through the videos below. Watch and share them to help spread our gratitude for everything that healthcare workers, volunteers, families, communities, governments, donors, traditional and religious leaders, civil society organizations and partners do for children.
