The Polio Eradication Initiative has been publishing an outstanding series of videos.
To eradicate polio, we need to stop all strains of the virus, including vaccine-derived polioviruses.
One video explains how these rare virus strains emerge and how to stop them.
Another explains the differences between the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) and the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) in a way all of us can understand. It helps us realize why the eradication of this disease is SO very difficult, and why it is difficult to communicate why vaccinations MUST continue - even in locations were there are no current cases.
You can find these and more HERE on our Vaccine History Page.

The video from our August 2017 Conference
Post-Polio Care: Past, Present and Future
is now available
Dr. William DeMayo, MD. and Dr. Daniel Wilson, PhD. shared a wealth of wisdom about Post-Polio Care and how care history from the past has affected our PPS care today. Their knowledge about and credibility on the topic of Polio and Post-Polio Syndrome make this information filled video something you can feel comfortable sharing with your family and caregivers as well. The video is located in the “Survivor Connections” section of our Website. DVD’s can be ordered for $10 (incl. shipping) either on our website by using a Credit Card or Pay Pal account (or) by sending a check using this form.
We are grateful to a truly humble NJ Polio Survivor whose talent in video editing is a gift.

Our "Slide Show" of Survivors - Be a part of our fun project.
We are creating a slide show of photos - past and present that will continually remind Rotary International

We know that because of Post-Polio Syndrome, it will take a full generation to rid the world of the effects of this terrible disease.
Vaccinating every child is the beginning of that end. Please send your photo(s) to us (jpeg) by email: papolionetwork@gmail.com

Without question, the one thing we ALL share is the prayer that with world wide vaccination;
death and disability from the Polio Virus will soon be gone. . . Forever.
