Paranoia and conspiracy theories, aided and abetted by Muslim religious leaders, have resulted in people avoiding vaccination. Vaccination is still completely effective. Note that the nations hit are overwhelmingly Muslim countries. It's suspicious, to say the least, and disappointing that the above article doesn't address that fact.

The Muslim religious "leaders" said that the vaccine was designed to sterilize girls, that is was made of pork, that is was an American plot, etc. Thanks to their "wisdom", hundreds of children were striken with polio, and it has now spread east through Sudan, across the Red Sea to Yemen, and south as far as Botswana. The "enlightenment" of Islam strikes again. RE Gardner is correct.

It is not drug-resistant strains, it is lack of immunization.
