One woman's harrowing story of polio survival as a young child. The disease left her with irreversible damage, all of which is now avoidable by the vaccine.
In the 1940s, 40,000 people would be infected with polio every year. Some of them would experience partial or total paralysis, many of them experienced death, and a lucky few are still alive to tell the tale, but not without the painful memories.
Last year, 33 people were diagnosed with polio. If we don’t completely eradicate polio, it could spread to the levels we haven’t seen since the Salk vaccine was introduced.
Get vaccinated. Tell your parents, your friends, strangers, and most of all anti-vaxxers.
