PolioPlus

PolioPlus is the vision of a world free from poliomyelitis, a disease feared for centuries. In 1985, the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International mounted two efforts—a fund-raising campaign to provide large quantities of vaccine and an immunization program to deliver the vaccine to children around the world. Both efforts achieved unparalleled success: the campaign raised twice the initial goal of U.S. $120 million, and the immunization effort brought praise and support from health authorities worldwide. The commitment of countless Rotarians is making that vision a reality and the world a healthier place for millions of children.
