Polio vaccination is one of the most important things to be given to a child for it to live a life without physical health risk. If the vaccine is not given, then the consequences could go from severe permanent disability to even death in some cases.
The role of Government and Rotary Clubs in eliminating polio from India is phenomenal and this year too, the Rotary Clubs are extending their support in giving polio vaccination to children across the country.
In Coimbatore, several Rotary Clubs are doing invaluable services on this Polio Vaccination Day. One of the clubs- Rotary Club of Coimbatore Centennial is also contributing in a huge way.
Speaking to Rtn.Y.Robinson, President, Rotary Club of Coimbatore Centennial, he said “As a support to Tamil Nadu government which is giving polio vaccination to innumerable number of children today, our club has come front to provide refreshments to children, doctors and nurses. We are doing this in 7 schools that are in the Uppilipalayam Area.
Pepin Esaw, Secretary of the club said that they have adopted 5 schools to provide Polio vaccination and every year they lend their support in Polio Vaccination.
Members of the Rotary said that Polio has been eliminated from India yet the awareness about it should always be around people.
