Join us for World Polio Day as global health experts and partners share our progress on the road to polio eradication. At the end of the 1980s, more than 350,000 children were paralyzed by polio every year. Today, Rotary and its partners have reduced the incidence of polio by 99.9 percent. However, until we see the last of the poliovirus, eradication efforts must continue to:
IMMUNIZE more than 400 million children against polio every year
IMPROVE disease surveillance systems to detect any poliovirus in a person or the environment
HIRE more than 150,000 health workers to go door to door to find every child
Learn how Rotary and its partners have vaccinated more than 2 billion children worldwide when you join us for this virtual presentation:
WHEN: Saturday, October 24 @ 10:00am

When Milford hospital physician Katie Northrup approached her friend Kelley Petralia of Westborough Connects asking to help obtain face shields for their staff to combat PPE shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kelley contacted Elliott Rittenberg, President of the Rotary Club of Westborough. Westborough Rotary and Westborough Connects had worked together on a Rotary funded grant over the past year, and Kelley knew she could count on the club for help. Thus, began a Rotary project to source materials and build 100 face shields for donation to Milford Hospital. Elliott reached out to Victor Tom, Past President of the Bedford Rotary Club and current District Grants Subcommittee Chair for help with funding, and Victor suggested to solicit the assistance of other Rotary Clubs.
