Polio - National Immunization Day India - January 2020
Message from Howard Tours, California, USA
We just received word from the Government of India that they are planning to hold a polio National Immunization Day (NID) January 19, 2020. We will be organizing a group program to Delhi and Uttar Pradesh to participate in the NID and house-to-house activities. This will be the 32nd such trip we have organized to take North American Rotarians to participate in a polio NID. Frequently, we hear the comment, “I would like to participate in an NID, but I don’t know how to find out about these trips.” You now have the information to share with Rotarians.
Along with participation in the polio immunization activities, we will meet with the World Health Organization and local Rotary clubs in Delhi and Jaipur. We will also take a couple of days to travel to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Jaipur to see the Pink City.
Tentatively, our group will depart on Friday, 10 January from North America and return on January 21, 2020. We are working with the Indian Rotary leadership to finalize the itinerary, Rotary programs and accommodations.
We are sending you this message so you are aware that an NID will be held in 2020 in India, and we will be organizing a program. Please share this information with others in your club and in your district. We will have a limit as to how many people we can take, and typically, these trips sell out in a week or two. Please tell any interested Rotarians to send us an email so we can add them to our database to ensure they are among the first to receive a notice when the itinerary is finalized.
In 2015, India was declared polio free. Last year, the Indian Rotary leadership informed us that there would be no more NIDs. However, because of the surge of new polio cases in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Government has decided to hold ONE NID in 2020. We expect this may be one of the last times a Rotarian can participate in an Indian polio NID.
