	ERADICATING POLIO
	Rotary's Ambitious Programme

LATEST POLIO ERADICATION FIGURES: http://www.polioeradication.org/

Through PolioPlus, Rotary leads private-sector participation in the global effort to eradicate polio. The value of the half-billion-dollar program by 2005 is multiplied by the thousands of volunteers in more than 100 countries helping to immunize children. The program started in 1981.
Rotary's volunteer and financial assistance in vaccination efforts means polio will disappear in nation after nation and region after region. Polio eradication will not occur until the disease disappears from all nations and all regions.
Rotary's community-based leadership in target countries was a deciding factor in the World Health Assembly's goal of polio eradication. Rotary International is the key private partner in the global fight to eradicate polio.
