ERADICATED
The 2nd of 3 Wild Polio Virus Strains
ERADICATED
Rotary and its Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) partners announced that wild poliovirus type 3 (WPV3) has been eradicated worldwide.
Rotary has played a leading part in this initiative.
This achievement means that two of the three wild polio strains have now been wiped out, an important marker of progress against the disease.
The announcement comes on the heels of recent news that Nigeria has gone three years without a case of wild poliovirus, which means that the entire African region could be certified wild poliovirus-free in 2020.
UK Govt has pledge a further £400 million
This will help deliver potentially life-saving vaccinations to 400 million children worldwide in each of the next 4 years.

Speakers Wow Audience
The guest speakers at the October lunch meeting were Bic & Simone from the Lindy Hop Dance Club.
They gave a fascinating talk on the development of the dance, with music and a spectacular display of the energetic dance.
Honorary President Alex Hughes thanked the couple and added that he would join them if he could find half their energy.
