welcome back, everyone. while it's practically been forgotten by recent generations, back in the 1950s polio was a disease the entire country feared. >> some parts of the world the fear of polio still exists. do we now have a chance to finally wipe it out? dr. richard besser reports. >> reporter: it was once every parent's nightmare in the 1950s when the polio virus gripped

american lives. children, paralyzed without warning. some living in iron lungs just to be able to breathe. >> 1955, a major medical hurdle was crossed. >> reporter: today 99% of the globe is polio-free. but this hospital ward in india is still full of victims. >> this leg was about 3 inches shorter than that one? >> yes. >> reporter: you'll inject bone marrow -- to strengthen that bone. >> yes. it still lurks in hidden reservoirs, spreading silently and quickly through water. the new massive push to vaccinate could finally banish polio from this earth. this may be why. the dogged dedication of people like dr. jafri who runs a polio eradication in india, where there have been more cases in the last decade than anywhere else in the world. during my visit we got word of a child with sudden paralysis. every case must be investigated. so we set out to examine why 2-year-old samir could no longer move his legs. could it be polio? looking to see if he supports any weight. >> that's right. see if he can support his weight. he's not. >> reporter: his grandmother tells us, he used to walk and play. but he can no longer even stand. he could be in some trouble? >> that's right.

in pakistan make it hard to reach children there who need it most. polio may not be seen in the u.s. today, but it's only a plane flight away. >> it does not take much for the virus to get to another continent. if it finds a pool of unimmunized children, it will spread. >> reporter: why did you vaccinate your children? she tells me she worries about polio and she should. until polio is wiped out everywhere, her children and ours remain at risk. dr. richard besser, abc news, india. >> literally, there's a worldwide vaccination campaign, $9 billion has been spent. largely it's worked. in some countries because of other conditions it can crop back up. >> bill gates very involved in that, too. spending a lot on vaccinations. ions.at's what it takes. >> that's what it takes. >> that's what it takes. if your racing thoughts keep you awake...
