BOOK HERE

For some 30 years Rotary has worked with the World Health Organisation UNICEF, other agencies, governments and the Gates Foundation, to eradicate polio. Over 2.5 billion children have been immunised and from some 350,000 cases a year in 125 countries there are now only 3 polio endemic countries, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria, which in 2017 experienced in total 22 cases of polio. As at 10th April this year only 7 cases have occurred. Whereas we are so close to eradication over 2 billion doses of polio vaccine still need to be administered each and every year in over 60 countries. Until the world has no cases for 3 years, and total eradication certified, all countries remain at risk,including the UK – polio is just a plane ride away.


The world is on the brink of one of the great landmarks in medical history. We are so, so close - please help us to achieve it.
