Welcome to this first of many, many blogs throughout the 60th anniversary year of Dr Salk's vaccine being declared safe and effective for use in the fight against Polio. This blog will explore the history of this debilitating disease and celebrate through education what has been done, is being done and will be done to eradicate it from the face of the earth. We will also look at the many organisations that have joined in the fight against Polio and in particular Rotary's response.
We will first start off with a simple but educationally worthwhile video that serves as a good introduction to Polio. Please feel free to share the video or this blog with anyone and everyone.
Remember that we have a few generations of young and middle age people around the world who don't even know what Polio is. As we are so close to eradicating Polio it would be a shame if apathy or even indeed ignorance of the facts ended up taking us two steps back instead of the two steps forward that is needed to wipe out Polio once and for all.
Now, on with the show! We hope you will learn something about Polio by watching this video.
