Join with Rotary to promote the power of vaccines.
During World Immunization Week, 24-30 April, join with Rotary to combat vaccine hesitancy and misinformation by spreading the facts about why #VaccinesWork.

As COVID-19 vaccines become more available, Rotary members are using our experience in fighting polio to help communities with their vaccination education and organization efforts. And today, because we and our partners have worked so hard, wild poliovirus remains endemic in only two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan.

This month, Rotary marks 100 years of service in Australia and New Zealand.
One great way for Zone 8 Rotarians to celebrate is by becoming a ‘Centenary Centurion’!

What’s unique is that the pledge of $100 or more is expressed in local currency terms – AUD or NZD. To make a donation to either the Annual Fund or PolioPlus please contact either of our Joint Foundation Directors, Nayer or Nasser Kaviani.
