Vaccine rumors, funding shortfall threaten to derail global polio eradication efforts
Article Abstract:
The WHO, the United Nations Children's Fund, the US centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Rotary International, have spent about $3 billion to eradicate the polio disease since they issued a mandate in 1988. According to WTO, a funding gap of $130 million, out of the total annual budget of $765 million through 2005, threatens to force the vaccination program to cut back on outreach.
