It's #WorldPolioDay! Check out this update from Rotary International.

On Saturday, Rotarians from Strathcona Sunrise Rotary, and District 5020 gathered online for an #Countdowntohistory Polio Event and raised $10,500 USD through ticket sales and donations towards the eradication of polio. Because of the continued work of #rotary we see an end to the fight polio through the thousands of people who are not facing the effects of polio today. Here are some interesting facts from the afternoon's event: ~ During a NID (National Immunization Day) i...n one area of India earlier this year, over 300,000 immunizations took place in the city centres and then by sending volunteers (upwards of 800 teams) house to house, all in the span of 5 days! ~ It costs just $0.60 to vaccinate a child against polio ~ A $30 donation is matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation ($30+$60)= $90 is able to vaccinate 150 children! ~ The polio infrastructure has also been assisting in the COVID-19 response through its use of laboratories for testing, call centres taking calls for polio and COVID-19, community mobilizers educating on polio and COVID-19 prevention, and in the distribution of PPE.
