ResumoThe past 3 years have seen remarkable developments in the effort to eradicate polio. In 2019, global eradication of type 3 poliovirus was declared. In 2020, Africa was classified as free from endemic polio. Wild poliovirus was confined to pockets of Afghanistan and Pakistan. But optimism is receding. Polio has returned to many parts of the world, and the upcoming replenishment to fund the eradication initiative comes amid geopolitical crises and global economic difficulties. The final stages of eradication have long been stuttering.
