Oral vaccines have played huge part in the global battle to wipe out polio. When the WHO endorsed the goal of eradicating polio in 1988, some 350,000 children in 125 countries were being paralysed by the virus that caused the disease. That number has dropped precipitously and there were only about 1,000 cases of polio across the world last year.
