Join the Circle of Protection against polio

Every child belongs inside the Circle of Protection. 
When we all play our part, we can defeat polio for good.

How can you help complete the Circle of Protection?

What is the Circle of Protection? 

When faced with danger, our communities have always come together to protect what matters most.  

Now, we need to come together to form a Circle of Protection against polio.  

Cases are rising, putting our lives and hard work at risk.
We need to vaccinate every child with the necessary doses, so we can form an unbreakable ring of protection around this generation, and the next.  


Polio is on the rise again
 

Polio can cause lifelong paralysis, and even death. It takes just one unvaccinated child to let the virus into your community.


 

Why must every child be vaccinated?  
 

We have already defeated wild polio, but there is a new type of polio that threatens us. This type appears in communities where children are unvaccinated, leaving gaps for the virus to get in. When we vaccinate every child with all the necessary doses, we complete the Circle of Protection and build a strong wall of resilience that protects us all.
