Rotary is an international community that

ROTARY VS. POLIO: brings together leaders who step up to take
A TIMELINE on the world’s toughest challenges, locally
and globally. The eradication of polio is one

of our longest standing and most significant

efforts. Along with our partners, we have

helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. We

have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won't stop until we

end the disease for good.

The History: A look at the recent history and major milestones of polio.

1894 The first major documented polio outbreak in the United States occurs in
Vermont; 18 deaths and 132 cases of permanent paralysis are reported.

1905 Swedish physician Ivar Wickman suggests that polio is a contagious
disease that can spread from person to person, and also recognizes that

polio could be present in people who show no symptoms.

1908 2 physicians in Vienna, Karl Landsteiner and Erwin Popper, discover that
polio is caused by a virus.

1916 A major polio outbreak in New York City kills more than 2,000 people.
Across the United States, polio takes the lives of about 6,000 people, and

paralyzes thousands more.

1929 Philip Drinker and Harvard University’s Louis Agassiz Shaw Jr. invent an
artificial respirator for patients suffering from paralytic polio — the iron
lung.

1955 A vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk is declared “safe and effective.”

1960 The U.S. government licenses the oral polio vaccine developed by Dr.
Albert Sabin.

1979 Rotary International begins its fight against polio with a multi-year project
to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines.

1985 Rotary International launches PolioPlus, the first and largest
internationally coordinated private-sector support of a public health
initiative, with an initial fundraising target of US$120 million.

1988 Rotary International and the World Health Organization launch the Global
Polio Eradication Initiative. There are an estimated 350,000 cases of polio

in 125 countries.

9 Rotary: Making A Difference Vol. 29 No. 10

1994 The International Commission for the Certification of Poliomyelitis
Eradication announces that polio has been eliminated from the Americas.

1995 Health workers and volunteers immunize 165 million children in China and
India in 1 week. Rotary launches the PolioPlus Partners program, enabling
Rotary members in polio-free countries to provide support to fellow
members in polio-affected countries for polio eradication activities.

2000 A record 550 million children – almost 10% of the world's population –
receive the oral polio vaccine. The Western Pacific region, spanning from

Australia to China, is declared polio-free.

2003 The Rotary Foundation raises $119 M in a 12-month campaign. Rotary's

total contribution to polio eradication exceeds $500 million. Six countries

remain polio-endemic–Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan.

2004 In Africa, synchronized National Immunization Days in 23 countries target
80 million children, the largest coordinated polio immunization effort on

the continent.

2006 The number of polio-endemic countries drops to 4 - Afghanistan, India,
Nigeria, Pakistan.

2009 Rotary's overall contribution to the eradication effort nears $800 million. In
January, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation pledges $355 million and
issues Rotary a challenge grant of $200 million. This announcement will
result in a combined $555 million in support of the Global Polio Eradication
Initiative.

2011 Rotary welcomes celebrities and other major public figures into a new
public awareness campaign and ambassador program called "This Close"
to ending polio. Program ambassadors include Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Desmond Tutu, violinist Itzhak Perlman, co-founder of the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation Bill Gates, Grammy Award-winning singers Angelique
Kidjo and Ziggy Marley, and environmentalist Dr. Jane Goodall. Rotary's
funding for polio eradication exceeds $1 billion.

2012 India surpasses 1 year without a recorded case of polio, and is taken off
the polio-endemic list. Only 3 countries remain polio endemic. Rotary
surpasses its $200 Million Challenge fundraising goal more than 5 months
earlier than planned.

The only way to end polio is together.
Containing polio to just 3 countries is a tremendous achievement, and proof of what’s

possible when we come together. Help us shine a spotlight on polio by advocating,
fundraising, and educating on the need to end polio now.
