🎃 The only thing scarier than Halloween? A world where polio still exists! 👻
This October 24, we're marking World Polio Day and reminding everyone that polio eradication is no trick… but it would certainly be one incredible treat! 🍬
Thanks to Rotary and our global partners, we've helped reduce polio cases by more than 99.9% since 1988. But until every child is protected, our work isn't finished.
💉 Vaccines save lives. 🌍 Every child deserves a polio-free future. ❤️ Together, we can finish what we started.
So this Halloween season, let's scare polio out of existence once and for all!
🎃 Let's make polio a ghost of the past!
