Polio Plus

The Rotary Club of Stony Plain was visited by Marilyn Mucha and Mary Drader on Wednesday August 10 to talk to the Club about Rotary's Polio Plus program.  Mary and Marilyn presented a very enlightening talk and slide presentation on the Polio Plus program and specifically their personal experiences when visiting India to assist Rotary with their mass immunization of children in Ghaziabad, India.

Marilyn pointed out what Polio is, how it is transmitted, and the resultant effects of it. Additionally she indicated how Rotary is involved in eradication efforts. 

Mary discussed and described pictorially of the conditions in Ghaziabad, and how they set and personally handled hundreds of oral immunizations with the local children. 

It was truly a remarkable experience and we were fortunate to have them share it with us.
