Polio eradication close
After 25 years of hard work to eradicate polio worldwide, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of achieving their goal. Nanaimo’s six Rotary club presidents and the mayor recently pledged their full support for the cause and will rededicate their efforts at a joint meeting today (Feb. 23).
Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease without a cure but for which there are safe and effective vaccines. Rotary has led the world for half a century delivering vaccines to stricken nations.
