I am personally not a firm believer that the polio disease will be eradicated. It is very expensive to give out billions of vaccines to everyone in the world. Even though polio is a dangerous disease once it hasn’t been seen or heard of for generations a country doesn’t see it as a threat anymore, so they don’t take action. We get too comfortable and believe that it is impossible to come back. There will always be someone who is not vaccinated for this disease.
