World Polio Day Oct 24^th

Each year on 24 October, Rotary and Rotaract clubs around the world join with our partners, health organizations, and public health advocates to mark World Polio Day. You have a critical role in this by hosting events and activities to increase awareness about polio and raise funds toward eradicating it. To build on the success of last year, we need your help!

It’s no secret that global health programs like the Global Polio Eradication Initiative are facing unprecedented funding challenges amid changing government priorities, rising rates of vaccine hesitancy, and the spread of misinformation. So why should Rotary members continue to care about polio eradication and World Polio Day? The simple answer:

Rotary launched the PolioPlus program in 1985 with a promise to children everywhere that one day; they won’t have to fear being paralyzed by polio. It has been a long and challenging endeavor to contain wild poliovirus to just two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan. And as in any marathon, the final mile of polio eradication is the most challenging.

This is why it’s so important for Rotary and Rotaract clubs to use World Polio Day on 24 October as an opportunity to raise awareness. Remind your communities about the incredible progress we’ve made toward eradicating this disease and emphasize that polio anywhere will always be a threat to children everywhere. Together, we end polio.
