His efforts in promoting a polio-free world in Australia follow a trip in September to Afghanistan, one of four remaining polio-endemic countries (alongside India, Nigeria and Pakistan). Ferris met with government officials, doctors and parents, to discuss the urgent need for all Afghan children to be fully immunized against polio.
