Held to rid the world of the crippling disease of Polio forever
Since launching their polio eradication effort in 1985, Rotary International has been responsible for the vaccination of 2 billion children in 122 countries. Along with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, The Gates Foundation and others, Rotary has helped slash the global infection rate. In 1988, there were 350,000 cases of polio each year, and in 2017 there were just 16 cases reported in 2 countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan.
