Investment Case 2022-2026: Polio Eradication Report
2022
This report from the Global Polio Eradication Initiative explores the success of previous polio prevention projects and describes the need for continued funding in order to make the world polio-free. Although wild poliovirus cases are at historic lows, COVID-19 has threatened progress: In February 2022, Malawi reported its first wild polio case in three decades, while Pakistan reported its first case in a year. Simultaneously, cases of vaccine-derived polio have emerged in Ukraine, Israel, and parts of Asia and Africa. The report notes that eradicating polio will save the U.S. $33.1 billion in this century, compared to the cost of controlling future outbreaks.
