October 24 is World Polio Day

On October 24 , members of Rotary clubs around the world – including over 34,000 clubs throughout the world – will celebrate World Polio Day. Polio eradication has been Rotary International’s top priority since 1985. World Polio Day is an opportunity to celebrate the 99% of countries that have eliminated polio, and also to reaffirm our commitment to seeing the last 1% of cases eliminated.
