Polio Eradication

The Polio Plus a campaign was started by Rotary International in 1985 with the express aim of eradicating Polio from the world. Millions of children have died or suffered from the crippling effects of this dreadful disease that can be prevented with  simple vaccination.

In 1985 the disease was endemic in 125 countries of the world, a substantial sum of money was raised and this has been applied to this enormous task with considerable success.

As at 1st February 2006  – The number of countries with indigenous polio has dropped to an all-time low of only four, as polio eradication efforts enter a new phase involving the use of next-generation vaccines targeted at the two surviving strains of virus.

The Rotary Club of Nuneaton supports Polio Plus.
