HISTORY

In 1979 Rotary began its fight against polio with a project in the Philippines to vaccinate 6 million children in several years.

In 1985 Rotary International launches PolioPlus, the first and largest internationally coordinated private sector support of a public health initiative, with an initial fundraising goal of $120 million.

Since then, the PolioPlus project has been developing permanently, managing to reduce the presence of wild polio in 3 countries in Asia. Currently, the presence of the polio virus has been detected in some major western cities and this has alarmed the scientific community and one cannot let down one's guard in vaccination campaigns for young children. For this reason, the PolioPlus project needs permanent funds to maintain vaccination teams in different countries and carry out periodic vaccination campaigns.
