As we commemorate World Polio Day, we invite you to use the messages below to amplify evidence, spotlight community leadership and zero-dose solutions, and champion the sustained investments needed to reach every last child. Please tag us and our partners when you share. Together, let’s convert progress into protection, share these posts, advocate with decision-makers, and mobilize your networks to help #EndPolio now.

Post the messages below at any time to call for an end to polio now:

  1. Women health workers 👩🏾‍⚕️ have been on the frontlines of #Polio eradication for decades tracking cases, engaging families, and protecting every child. Let’s keep supporting them to #EndPolio for good.
  1. More than 20 million people can walk today thanks to polio vaccines 💉. Global cases have dropped by over 99% since 1988—but until every child is reached, no child is safe. #WorldPolioDay #EndPolio
  1. 📊 According to the Polio Eradication Initiative’s 2025 snapshot: Wild poliovirus — 33 cases | cVDPV — 153 cases. Together, we can reach zero. https://polioeradication.org/wild-poliovirus-count/ #EndPolio #WorldPolioDay
  1. CORE Group and @Gavi’s Zero-Dose Immunization Programme (ZIP) are closing the gap—reaching children missed by routine services. Every child counts. 💉 https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/zip-new-way-get-vaccines-zero-dose-children-some-worlds-toughest-regions #ZeroDose #EndPolio [Insert ZIP image]
  1. Polio anywhere is a threat everywhere. Sustained investment and local leadership will determine how soon we cross the finish line. ⏳ #EndPolio #WorldPolioDay
  1. 💉 Nigeria is launching one of its largest integrated vaccination drives—aiming to protect ~106M children against measles, rubella, and polio. Vaccines save lives. Let’s get every child covered. https://polioeradication.org/news/nigeria-launches-large-scale-vaccination-campaign-to-protect-106-million-children-against-measles-rubella-and-polio/ #Nigeria #Immunization #Polio #Measles #Rubella
  1. 1,000,000 children in humanitarian settings are now fully vaccinated through ZIP + Gavi’s Humanitarian Partnerships Programme. Proof that no setting is too hard when partners unite. 💉🌍 #GaviZIP #VaccinesWork #LeaveNoChildBehind
  1. CORE Group stands with partners across Africa & Asia to keep immunization strong. Every community reached brings us one step closer to zero. 🌍 #WorldPolioDay #EndPolio
