Dear AGs / RDCs Polio Plus/ RDCs AFP Survellience / Presidents/ IW Chairperson,
The eradication of Polio is the priority of the highest order of Rotary International. You will lead your club in the final battle to eradicate Polio Myletis from the world. We have "almost" fulfilled one of the greatest dreams of Rotary international.
I urge you to concentrate all your efforts in making this one of its own kind dream of Rotary a Reality. Encourage & lead your clubs & district to participate in national immunisation days in your community. Please do not forget that routine immunisation strategy needs to be continued as it is. This is an extremely important step in all the districts where Polio cases are not observed in last few years.
14 new cases are reported this week for the year 2008. P1 – 2 ( 2 from U.P. ) and P3 12 ( 9 from U.P. & 3 from Bihar). The total polio case count in 2008 is 486 (P1- 55 and P3-431). As on October 18, 2008
The status of Polio cases is as under:
Year 2006 = 676 wild Polio cases
Year 2007 = 874 wild Polio cases
Year 2008 = 486 wild Polio cases for the year 2008 (as on October 17, 2008 from 87 Revenue Districts)
