That’s why recognising the signs and knowing how to open the conversation is so important. If you’re not sure where to start, this guide offers practical tips on what to look for and how to support your child with care. #OnMyMind

    Ending polio and helping children survive and thrive means making sure they have access to vaccines. That’s why every year, UNICEF procures and delivers 1 billion doses of polio vaccines around the world, to protect children from the disease. Amid global funding cuts, investments in polio campaigns and routine immunization are needed more than ever to ensure every child’s right to health. #WorldPolioDay
