“All around the world Rotary International has for many years been working hard to vaccinate all children against polio.
“This means that there are networks of trained people in most countries to deliver the polio health care to the whole population.
“The work is being done with the World Health Organisation and other organisations and has been going on for decades.
“Rotarians around the world, including those here in Market Harborough, are very proud of the Rotary-supported polio eradication campaign.”
