END POLIO NOW

End Polio Now

Make Polio History - one of the biggest wins for humanity. We’ve reduced cases by 99.9% since 1988. There is no cure, but polio is preventable with a vaccine. Just 2 polio drops can make a world of difference in the life of a child.

Unless we eradicate polio, within 10 years, as many as 200,000 new cases could occur around the world each year. In the past few years, only two countries have reported cases of polio caused by the wild virus, but no child anywhere is safe until we’ve vaccinated every child.

Every little helps, and the Rotary Club of Cooroy has donated $1,000 this year to obtain the vaccines, transport, and personnel needed in the fight to #EndPolioNow.
