24 October is World Polio Day!
As World Polio Day approaches, we need your help to amplify our message about eradicating polio to protect the world’s children from a devastating disease. We have made tremendous progress since the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched: A 99.9% reduction in cases of illness caused by wild poliovirus. 3 billion children immunized. 125 countries where polio was endemic reduced to two — Afghanistan and Pakistan — with the virus contained in just a few districts and provinces. But even just one case still represents one child’s life forever changed by polio. That’s why Rotary members must remain tenacious and keep our promise: We won’t stop until we know that no child will ever again experience the paralyzing effects of polio. Let’s use World Polio Day to advocate for the support we need to make history by eradicating polio. Together, we end polio! Get involved Take action this World Polio Day by hosting virtual and community events, creating fundraisers, and talking about the importance of polio eradication on social media.
