Polio Eradication Officer Question:
Where does wild polio virus continue to circulate today?
Answer:
There are just four countries which have never stopped polio transmission - Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. However, polio can and does spread from these countries to their neighbours and beyond. It must be remembered that POLIO ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO CHILDREN EVERYWHERE. It does not respect borders or social class, and travels with ease.
