of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus Type 2 (cVDPV2).

​David Salamone's

​story is one of hope, not despair. 
​     David,  John and Kathy Salamone are truly unsung heroes of polio eradication. 
    Because of their efforts, an untold number of children have not gotten and will not get polio in the future.

 ​​Coffee with the Polio Experts
                                To eradicate polio, we need to stop all strains of the virus, including vaccine-derived polioviruses.  
           This outstanding series, published by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) explains the differences between the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV),  the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV),  the complex issues involved in vaccinating every child. 
                                                It helps us realize why the eradication of this disease is SO very difficult.
