World Polio Day

World Polio Day is observed on 24 October each year. The End Polio movement is not only a signature initiative of Rotary International but also an iconic service that showcases our dedication to making a lasting impact.


Staying up to date on routine immunizations is important for protecting children against a variety of dangerous and deadly diseases. It is also a key strategy in the fight to #EndPolio for good. endpolio.org 

We’re on a mission to find the 12.5 million unvaccinated children around the world. Donate to help @Rotary get lifesaving polio vaccines to every child. #EndPolio #VaccinesWork endpol.io/give 

Strong routine immunization systems everywhere are critical to stopping transmission of polio, sustaining eradication, and eliminating and better controlling other vaccine-preventable diseases. #EndPolio endpolio.org 

When @Rotary formed PolioPlus 1985 to #EndPolio, polio paralyzed 1,000+ children every single day in 125 polio-endemic countries. Because #VaccinesWork, just 2 countries remain wild polio-endemic. endpolio.org 

#DYK @Rotary members have contributed more than USD$2.6 billion dollars and countless volunteer hours to the fight to #EndPolio. Together with our partners we immunize over 400 million children every year. endpol.io/give 

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. #EndPolio endpolio.org 

Just 2 polio drops can make a world of difference in the life of a child. A donation to @EndPolioNow helps @Rotary and partners obtain the vaccines, transport, and personnel needed in the fight to #EndPolio for good: endpol.io/give 

Want to triple your impact to #EndPolio? Thanks to a 2 to 1 match from the @gatesfoundation, every donation made to @Rotary to @EndPolioNow will be tripled. Donate today: endpol.io/give 

A polio-free world is possible, but we can achieve it only by taking action together. Join with @Rotary and together, we will #EndPolio. endpol.io/give
