Press Release re BBC Coverage of NID in Feb 2012
I have pleasure in sharing wonderful news regarding the upcoming National Immunisation Day (NID) in India this month which many of our Rotarians are travelling to.
The BBC Medical Correspondent, Fergus Walsh, will be travelling with the team and filming the weekend of the NID. This will then be broadcast on BBC Breakfast news on the 20th of February, live from Delhi. This story will also be featured in the 6 pm news and the 10 pm news. In addition, the featured broadcast will be available to view on the BBC website permanently which means Rotary clubs can see the broadcast again.
This is as a result of discussions between myself and Fergus over the past year. I am delighted Fergus is going to India as he has covered polio previously and will do an excellent job. He has been keen to cover the story, especially as it is possible that India has enjoyed a year free of polio.
I would like to ask that you share this news with your districts and tune into BBC news on the 20th of February.
I welcome any questions you may have.
Kind regards,
Rebecca Warner
Public Relations Officer
