In the early 20th century, Americans lived in fear of the polio virus, which infected tens of thousands of Americans and paralyzed a future president.
The vaccine nearly eliminated the disease within a decade of its release. It would be crazy to undo that progress.

The world has already eradicated smallpox. Polio is the next disease we could eradicate.
Here's how we got to where we are now, mostly thanks to the polio vaccine.

I believe in vaccines. Had three routine shots this fall. As soon as I recover from current illness, I’m getting a Tdap booster and any other recommended vaccines. Protect yourself and your community!
