Photo: Nigerian kids show off their pinky fingers that mean they have been vaccinated against polio

Some Nigerian kids are pictured showing off the ink marks on their pinky
fingers that mean they have been vaccinated against polio. Nigeria
celebrates reaching two years without a new case of the wild polio virus
today, 24 July 2016. The last Nigerian case of this crippling disease
was on 24 July 2014; the country is well on its way to being declared
polio-free in 2017 if it does not have another case in the next 365
days.
