Sunday, 12 April, marks 60 years since the Salk po-o vaccine was declared safe, effective, and potent.n that time, the number of polio cases has dropped

by 99 percent worldwide. With just three countriesemaining polio-endemic, we are closer than ever to

eradicating this crippling disease.

Jonas Salk’s inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) hasbeen crucial in helping us reach our goal of a polio-ree world. Before the vaccine was widely available,n the United States alone, polio crippled more than35,000 people each year. By 1957 -- two years afterhe introduction of Salk’s vaccine -- cases in theU.S. had fallen by almost 90 percent, and by 1979,polio had been eradicated there.The impact on the rest of the world has taken

onger. In 1988, when Rotary International launchedhe Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) with itspartners at the World Health Organization, UNICEF,and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention, polio continued to cripple children in 125countries. Today, polio remains endemic in onlyhree: Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. And it has

been more than eight months since Nigeria’s lastcase, making a polio-free Africa a real possibility.

Salk’s vaccine will play an important role in the end-

game strategy against polio when 120 countries in-roduce IPV into their routine polio immunizationsystems this year. Leading that effort are the GPEIpartners and Gavi, a global vaccine alliance, alongwith Sanofi Pasteur, the largest manufacturer of po-o vaccine.

“As more than 120 countries in the world are in

ducing IPV, we are beginning the last chapter on lio eradication,” said Olivier Charmeil, Sanofi Pteur’s chief executive officer. “At Sanofi Pasteur, have had a long-term vision of IPV as the ultimpublic health tool able to finish the job started wOral Polio Vaccine (OPV).”
