World Polio Day, October 24th, 2019. With 2020 approaching we still are fighting this terrible disease. If you have read The Rotarian this month, you know it is about World Polio Day and the final push to end this debilitating disease.
One of the interesting articles had to due with the PLUS of Polio Plus. What exactly is the PLUS?
It is bed nets, soap, does of Vitamin A, hygiene, clean water, maternal care, hand operate built tricycles for transportation for those with polio, learning a trade, to stop begging on the streets. Just a few of the plus items added by Rotary.
The other part of the plus is how governments supply vaccines for other diseases to the population Our system works for delivery of vaccines.
