In 1979, volunteers administered drops of oral polio vaccine to children at a health center in the Philippines. This marked the beginning of a movement that would spread across the world and give Rotary members everywhere an undeniable call to action:Together, we end polio.
World Polio Day (24 October) is a vital opportunity for Rotary and Rotaract clubs to raise awareness and funds in their communities. We want to know how your club is taking action. Are you hosting your own activity? Participating in a district or zone event? Let us know!
