Polio Ute Relay Rolls On
The Rotary Polio Ute Relay continues to move through our Rotary District having visited the Eyre Peninsular, Roxby Downs, Alice Springs, Broken Hill and Clubs in between.
Clare in the state's mid north is the latest centre to have the ute visit.
Purpose of the relay is to ensure awareness of this disease remains in the minds of Australians. During the period 1930 to 1950 three major epidemics occurred and following the introduction of a vaccine with mass immunisations the disease was eradicated from Australia. Paralysis or death can result from contracting Polio.
This is typically a disease affecting young children and whilst most of the world is Polio free there are pockets of the disease remaining.
