World Polio Day

The disease Polio is poliomyelitis is a highly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. 

 

The virus is spread person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis. Although there is no cure, there is a safe and effective vaccine – one which Rotary and our partners use to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide.

The Rotary has been in the fight since 1988 to reduce, and eradicate polio forever by providing vaccines to children all over the world. There are only 2 countries that remining that still face this epidemic, and we are fighting vigorously to assist them, and have a polio free world forever. 

 

So join in with us as we continue in our fight to end polio everywhere.
