The Polio Truths

Carol Ferguson of Doylestown is the Polio Plus Coordinator for District 7430. She founded the Pennsylvania Polio Survivors Network with three other survivors and some family members.They serve ALL Polio Survivors, families and caregivers, from the Keystone State and beyond.

“We are a Team of Survivors who have come together to help Rotarians understand the real story of just how destructive the poliovirus can be.  The gift of Rotarians being willing to stay the course for the eradication of this disease, has resulted in an infrastructure that is impacting world health in a way that no one could have anticipated. This message becomes even more important as more and more Clubs in our District are bringing in new, younger members - members that may not even realize they had the polio vaccine as children. Polio survivors all over the US and abroad are truly grateful for this enormous effort.”
