Mobilise to Immunise
Getting the word out about the
importance of polio immunisation is a
key element of the eradication effort.
As community leaders, Rotarian
volunteers play a crucial role in
publicising the National Immunisation
Days and encouraging parents to
bring their children for vaccination.

Rotarians have used every possible means to promote polio
immunisation, including a parade with elephants.
Rotarians in polio-free countries provide posters and banners publicising
immunisation days, along with small gifts for the immunised children.

Aiming for 100 per
cent coverage,
volunteers use
loudspeakers to
broadcast
announcements
about polio
immunisation days.
