Polio Talk

Since October is Polio Awareness month, there has been a talk every week to educate members about international polio initiatives. Last week Rotarian Herline Raphael told us about symptoms of polio and its devastating effects leading to death or permanent disabilities for survivors. There is no cure and can be infectious. The only way for the international community to control this disease is vaccination. Herline shared her experience with us in Haiti on her medical mission trips. Today it is a mandate that every child in Haiti gets a vaccine.
