World Polio Day is October 24, 2021.
Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 2.5 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort. Our club set a goal to contribute $1,700 toward the PolioPlus Fund.
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
