Rotary International, with the help of 1.2 million Rotarians, has almost eradicated polio. Rotary, along with its partners, has reduced polio cases by 99.9% worldwide since their first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Jim Lamb is the District 5500 Chairperson for Polio-Plus, and he will tell us about the science of polio and what is being done to win this global battle.
