This map is showing polio cases that have popped up during the years of July 2009- March 2011. It also show countries that have been vaccine deprived. One of my research questions is why is it important to get the vaccine to kids? This map shows why. In one of the places marked on this map there were 355 cases of the virus. If the people in that area were vaccinated as kids the outbreak would of never started and might of even been eradicated from that area of Africa.
