Message from District Governor Sue Klock
We are "This Close" to the global certification of the eradication of polio. There were four endemic countries -- Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria -- but India has not had a case since January 13, 2011. It's off the PAIN list of endemic countries!!. A combination of strategic planning and the new bivalent vaccine are behind this remarkable progress. But, remember, as long as any child can be stricken by this dread disease, every child is at risk.
Rotarians worldwide made such an amazing response to a $100 million challenge in 2008 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation returned a year later, giving another $255 million and asking Rotarians to meet this by donating just $100 million more, a new total of $200 million. We have just passed the $198 million mark. Won't you be part of this amazing race to the end? It takes just 60 cents to immunize a child in one of the endemic countries -- that's six rounds, two drops each time, of the oral polio vaccine. Make certain you and your club are part of this effort.
