A resolution commemorating the 30th anniversary of the eradication of wild poliovirus from the Americas.
SRES 846 is a symbolic Senate resolution commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Americas being certified free of wild poliovirus by the World Health Organization on September 29, 1994. It honors the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), Rotary International, and the Pan American Health Organization for their role in eliminating polio from the region. The resolution encourages continued international funding and commitment to eradicating polio globally, noting that only Afghanistan and Pakistan currently face wild poliovirus transmission. This is a non-binding commemorative measure with no new policy or funding requirements.
