It was on September 29, 1979 when James L. Bomar Jr. then Rotary International President, put the first drops of vaccine into a child’s mouth. He ceremonially launched the Philippine poliomyelitis immunization effort, Rotary’s first Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grant project.
The project’s success led Rotary to make polio eradication a top priority. Rotary launched Polio Plus in 1985 and was a founding member of the Global Polio Eradication initiative in 1988. Through commitment and work by Rotary and our partners, more than 2.5 billion children have received the oral polio vaccine.
The Rotary Club of Manila Midtown has consistently supported the end polio campaign for the past decades and even during the pandemic.
Life Changing President James Ong together with service project director PP Rolley So spearheaded and conducted an end polio campaign program to the representatives of the 11 barangays in Taguig namely Fort Bonifacio, Hagonoy, Ibayo-Tipas, Lower Bicutan, Palingon, Tuktukan, Ususan, WaWa, Western Bicutan, Pembo and SouthSide
After the campaign for End Polio Program, vitamin c and End Polio Now posters were distributed.
