The Fourth Supervisorial District introduced a motion at the Board Meeting on October 18, 2022 to proclaim October 24, 2022 as “World Polio Day” in Los Angeles County. Polio has been nearly eradicated in much of the world after successful vaccination efforts beginning in the 1950s. The resurgence of the disease in various parts of the world is a sober reminder of the continued need for vigilance and the importance of using the available tools and knowledge to prevent the resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases.
