World Immunization Week is quickly approaching! Has your club planned how it will observe this important public health event?
Rotary and our partners commemorate World Immunization Week, 24-30 April every year, to raise awareness of the importance of vaccination and highlight the success of our polio eradication efforts.
As an organization that is committed to eradicating polio as well as to fighting disease and improving maternal and child health, Rotary recognizes World Immunization Week as an ideal opportunity for Rotary and Rotaract clubs to engage in these kinds of activities:
- Invite a local health care worker to speak at your club about the importance of vaccinations.
- Host an event in your community to raise funds for PolioPlus and educate people about Rotary’s work toward eradicating polio.
- Partner with local Interact clubs or schools on a campaign to raise awareness about polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
The progress that Rotary and our partners have made toward eradicating polio is a success story that is important to tell, especially during this final effort to reach our goal. Our members are our greatest advocates and supporters, and we need your help more than ever to share our story with your communities.
