New bid to halt polio in Angola

this article is about the bid to halt the spread of polio in Angola and the rest of central africa. there have already been 24 cases of polio this year in Anglola. there have been previous attempts to stop the spread of polio but have failed becasuse not enough children have been vacinated. in this attempt over 7 million vacines have been sent to angola. Nigeria is the only african country to be polio free, it is supected that it will be easier to stop the spread of polio in Angola because it has a smaller population of children.
