Suggested Themes for Long Form Posts
- The power of vaccines: Over the past 50 years, vaccines have saved more than 154 million lives. Polio vaccines specifically have saved 1.6 million lives. That means at least 4 lives an hour saved every day.
- GPEI commitment: Despite this remarkable achievement, polio continues to paralyze the world’s most vulnerable children. The GPEI is committed to reaching every child with polio vaccines, so that no child has to suffer from this devastating disease.
- Continued support: Continued support from donors and country governments is critical to vaccinate every child, so that polio doesn’t make a global comeback, paralyzing many thousands of children again.
