Doylestown Rotarian Jane Moore provided an excellent presentation at our March 25, 2015 meeting about her recent trip to participate in Rotary’s 2015 Polio Immunization Program in India. The trip ran from February 13 to February 24, 2015 and she traveled to Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, India. Jane felt compelled to take the trip because it might be her last chance to give the two drops of a polio vaccine to a child that will change their life. Since January 2011, there has been only ONE new confirmed case of polio in India. In 2012, India was removed from the list of polio endemic countries.The trip combined participation in India’s National Polio Immunization Days (NID) activities, interaction with local Rotarians, and visits to some of India’s most extraordinary sights. Jane traveled to Delhi where she participated in polio National Polio Immunization Days activities and attended related Rotary events. She also traveled to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal, and Jaipur to visit the
famous Rotary Jaipur Limb factory.
