When Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, there were 350,000 cases of polio in 125 countries every year. We’ve made great progress against the disease since then. Today, polio cases have been reduced by 99.9 percent, and just two countries continue to report cases of wild poliovirus: Afghanistan and Pakistan. And we remain committed to the end.
Every year on October 24, Rotarians around the world recognize World Polio Day as a way to highlight the efforts made to eradicate this disease and encourage others to join us in our fight.
The Rotary Zone 34 Public Image team is thrilled to have Past Rotary International President and 2021-22 Trustee Chair John Germ join us to discuss why it is so important for Rotarians to share the story of Rotary's role in our quest to drop to zero.
Zone 34 Assistant Rotary Public Image Coordinators William Inniss and Kim Walden will share ideas and resources that your club and district can leverage to put together a successful event despite the challenging circumstances with the COVID pandemic.
