HOW SUCCESSFUL HAS THE EFFORT BEEN TO ERADICATE POLIO?
Because of Rotary’s support, nearly 3 billion children have been immunized against polio and are protected for life against this crippling disease.
Rotary and our partners reduced the number of wild polio cases from 350,000 in 1988 to 6in 2021. Twenty million cases of paralysis have been averted through this global effort.
The wild poliovirus is now endemic in just two countries, and we won’t stop our effort until we’re able to give children a polio-free world.
