Aylward makes a compelling case for pressing ahead with the difficult task of eradicating , rejecting the idea advanced by those who say containment is the best we can hope for.
It’s a fascinating mix of science and advocacy, along with a belief that we now have the tools and knowhow to stamp out polio for good.

This is a theme taken up by Aylward in an excellent article in a recent edition of the New England Journal of Medicine entitled ‘The Polio Endgame’.
Momentum appears to be building behind a new push to wipe out polio. For good.
