EVERY LAST CHILD is the dramatic story
of five people caught up
in the current polio crisis in

It tells of their sorrow,
sacrifice and fearless
determination
in the face of mistrust, cynicism and violence.

poliovirus > poliomyelitis / polio USA
Tens of thousands
of Americans
— in the first half
of the 20th century —
were stricken
by poliomyelitis.
Polio, as it's known,
is a disease that attacks
the central nervous system
and often leaves its victims
partially or fully paralyzed.
The hallmarks
of the Polio Era
were children on crutches
and in
iron lungs,
shuttered swimming pools,
theaters warning moviegoers
to not sit too close to one another.

Polio
is an infectious disease
caused by any one
of the three types of polio virus.
What causes polio?
Polio is caused by a ‘picornavirus’.
This is one of a group of viruses
that live in the intestine.
These viruses can be found
in the stools of people with polio
for up to six weeks after the start of the illness.
Polio mainly affects people
who haven't been immunised.
Many parts of the world
don’t have a problem with polio
after immunisation programmes
which have wiped out the disease.
In the UK,
immunisation
is automatically offered
to everyone as a baby.
Children then have booster doses
just before they start school,
and then again after they leave.
It is young children
who are the most at risk from polio,
but adults can also have the disease.

Hilary Koprowski (born in Warsaw)
USA
1916-2013
Dr. Koprowski
was one of the world’s
foremost biomedical
researchers,
helping usher in a spate of innovations,
including a safer, less painful
and more effective rabies vaccine
that remains widely used.
But his most noteworthy innovation
— developing the first viable vaccine against polio
and testing it successfully
on humans —
is far less well known.
It has long been eclipsed
in public memory by the
triumphs of Salk,
whose injectable vaccine
was introduced in 1955,
and Sabin,
whose oral vaccine
was introduced in stages
in the early 1960s.
