ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS:

2016 World Polio Day—Oct. 24 (extract from WHO

website h:p://www.who.int/life-course/news/events/2016

-world-polio-day/en/)

World Polio Day was established by Rotary Interna6onal

over a decade ago to commemorate the birth of Jonas

Salk, who led the first team to develop a vaccine against

poliomyeli6s. Use of this inac6vated poliovirus vaccine

and subsequent widespread use of the oral poliovirus,

developed by Albert Sabin, led to the establishment of

the Global Polio Eradica6on Ini6a6ve. Polio is a crippling

and poten6ally fatal infec6ous disease. There is no cure,

but there are safe and effec6ve vaccines. Polio can be

prevented through immuniza6on. Polio vaccine, given

mul6ple 6mes, almost always protects a child for life.
