section Summary
 
 
For our society, polio was an intense and dramatic disease that was eradicated almost as quickly as it came. Now polio remains a fleeting memory of both the tragedy of disease and the “miracle” of science, yet other nations who are not so fortunate are still living the history and potential of polio endemics. Despite the fact that an effective vaccine system exists, polio still manages to have an impact on the health of certain populations. It is perhaps the more humanistic qualities of polio rather than clinical that impedes the campaign for polio eradication.
