We warmly welcomed Carol Furgeson from the Polio Survivors Network. Carol shared with us the tireless efforts of the Rotary Foundation to spread the message about the power of vaccines to save lives.
Carol shared this interview of Paul A. Offit, MD, the Director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The Rotary International Board of Directors and Rotary Foundation Trustees believe that :
- “As the first organization to envision a polio-free world through mass immunization of children, Rotary believes the decision to vaccinate is a humanitarian imperative.”
- “The eradication of polio remains the goal of the highest order for Rotary.”
- “Rotarians are encouraged to redouble their efforts to support prevention and vaccination efforts.”
Our club is looking to partner further with the Polio Network - stay tuned!
