Rotary Club of Antigua Joins the Global Effort to End PolioWorld Polio Day – October 24, 2025

The Rotary Club of Antigua has joined millions globally in commemorating World Polio Day 2025, reaffirming its steadfast dedication to eradicating polio worldwide. Polio, a debilitating and potentially fatal infectious disease, once afflicted hundreds of thousands of children annually. However, since the inception of Rotary’s PolioPlus program in 1985, global polio cases have plummeted by over 99%, with only a handful of cases persisting in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This extraordinary achievement stands as one of the most successful global health campaigns in history.
