The World Health Organization says it is optimistic that polio can be eradicated globally by the end of 2004.Money is a problem; there may not be enough to finish the job without an additional infusion. But the possibility dances before us and my gosh, how can any sane nation not do its part?
The claim follows the resumption of vaccination campaigns in parts of northern Nigeria. ...
Between now and the end of the year, the WHO aims to run national immunisation projects in 22 African countries.
Campaigns are also continuing in the other endemic region, South Asia, with the aim of eradicating the virus globally by the end of the year.
(I know, I know, that leaves us out. Maybe not. We'll have to see.)
