World Immunization Week is happening now!
 
With World Immunization Week being celebrated 24-30 April, now is the time to remind people that #VaccinesWork.
 
Use Rotary’s toolkit with graphics and social media posts to raise awareness of the power that vaccines have to save lives, as shown by our progress eradicating wild poliovirus in all but two countries.
 
Introduce your community to a new video resource — “Rotary Inspires Leaders in Global Health” — in which global health experts discuss Rotary’s achievements and leadership in the fight to end polio.
 
Download and share the video to promote our polio eradication efforts and the importance of staying committed until all children are safe from the disease.
 
Use and share other available resources to promote #VaccinesWork.
 
 
Take action with Rotary
 
Rotary’s experience in distributing lifesaving vaccines and working with public health partners around the world is more valuable than ever. Because of our work with our Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) partners to vaccinate children against polio, 19 million people who would otherwise have been paralyzed by polio can walk today. Since 1988, we’ve helped reduce worldwide polio cases by more than 99.9%. This was made possible by supporters just like you.
 
To continue our efforts to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases, we need your help. A gift to The Rotary Foundation supports your fellow Rotary members’ local disease prevention and vaccination work to protect communities against serious illnesses like polio, measles, and COVID-19.
 
This World Immunization Week, 24-30 April, please consider donating to The Rotary Foundation so that, together, we can end polio and help people everywhere stay healthy.
