Nigeria goes one year without a case of polio

Africa’s only polio-endemic country marks one year since its last case of the disease.
In 1988, there were 350,000 cases of polio annually, in 125 countries — about 1,000 cases per day. Rotary and its partners have reduced that figure by more than 99.9 percent, and in 2014, there were fewer than 400 cases in the entire world.
West Seneca Rotary encourages the community to support Rotary’s efforts to end polio by visiting endpolio.org to donate and to learn more.
