World Polio Day

World Polio Day is a time for Rotarians all over the world to raise awareness about our efforts to eradicate polio for good. In the past week news has come from the Philippines that a three-year-old girl has contracted a circulating vaccine derived poliovirus type 2 {cVDPV2} along with a possible second case pending confirmation. No cases of wild poliovirus have been discovered and the Philippines’ polio free status is not at risk, stated Michael K. McGovern, International Polio Plus Chair.
