Polio update – May 2020

Here are the 4 most asked questions about Polio and Rotary’s involvement: -Which vaccine are we using and why? -Why are we vaccinating in so many countries? -What caused the increase in wild polio cases in 2019? -How is Covid-19 affecting the fight against polio?

I hope everyone is doing well and managing their way through these challenging times.

You may be interested to know that we just completed our Rotary Zone 33 Training and all the sessions were done via Zoom and recorded. One of the seven sessions is about Polio and the trainers are “End Polio Now Coordinators” Rocky Jacobs and Chuck Davidson. When it comes to understanding Rotary’s efforts to eradicate Polio… they are two of the best! Their session answers the four most asked questions about Polio and Rotary’s involvement:

-Which vaccine are we using and why?
-Why are we vaccinating in so many countries?
-What caused the increase in wild polio cases in 2019?
-How is Covid-19 affecting the fight against polio?
