This is an official announcement record

Firsthand records what CDC Online Newsroom announced and links to the original. The wording below is theirs, not ours.

The world is at the brink of a historic moment: eradication of polio, one of the most feared scourges of humanity; yet, recent setbacks threaten this long-awaited achievement. On World Polio Day, CDC and Rotary will co-host a live media briefing at CDC to highlight historic progress-the fewest polio cases in the fewest places in history-and outline what is needed to achieve a polio-free world.
