Staying up to date on routine immunizations is important for protecting children against a variety of dangerous and deadly diseases. It is also a key strategy in the fight to #EndPolio for good. endpolio.org

We’re on a mission to find the 12.5 million unvaccinated children around the world. Donate to help @Rotary get lifesaving polio vaccines to every child. #EndPolio #VaccinesWork endpol.io/give

Strong routine immunization systems everywhere are critical to stopping transmission of polio, sustaining eradication, and eliminating and better controlling other vaccine-preventable diseases. #EndPolio endpolio.org

When @Rotary formed PolioPlus 1985 to #EndPolio, polio paralyzed 1,000+ children every single day in 125 polio-endemic countries. Because #VaccinesWork, just 2 countries remain wild polio-endemic. endpolio.org

#DYK @Rotary members have contributed more than USD$2.6 billion dollars and countless volunteer hours to the fight to #EndPolio. Together with our partners we immunize over 400 million children every year. endpol.io/give

As the first organization to envision a polio-free world through mass immunization of children, @Rotary believes the decision to vaccinate is a humanitarian imperative. #EndPolio endpolio.org

Just 2 polio drops can make a world of difference in the life of a child. A donation to @EndPolioNow helps @Rotary and partners obtain the vaccines, transport, and personnel needed in the fight to #EndPolio for good: endpol.io/give

Want to triple your impact to #EndPolio? Thanks to a 2 to 1 match from the @gatesfoundation, every donation made to @Rotary to @EndPolioNow will be tripled. Donate today: endpol.io/give

A polio-free world is possible, but we can achieve it only by taking action together. Join with @Rotary and together, we will #EndPolio. endpol.io/give

World Immunization Week Social Media Messages

I believe #VaccinesWork and that we can #EndPolio because [insert your reason for supporting polio eradication]

Let’s make history together! Every donation this week helps obtain the vaccines, materials, transportation, and healthcare workers need to cross the finish line in the fight to #EndPolio

Because #VaccinesWork, @Rotary & partners have reduced polio cases by 99.9% worldwide since 1988. We won't stop until we end the disease for good. Donate to support #EndPolio

In countries where polio is a threat, kids’ pinkies are marked with purple ink after they’re immunized, helping #EndPolio health workers know which kids are protected. #VaccinesWork 

This #WorldImmunizationWeek, we applaud the courage, care, and tenacity of polio vaccinators who travel house-to-house to make sure every child is vaccinated. #VaccinesWork #EndPolio 

To #EndPolio for good means making sure vaccines are delivered to the communities that need them, whether by car, train, or even a bicycle! #VaccinesWork #WorldImmunizationWeek 

#DYK in communities where polio vaccines are delivered in house-to-house campaigns, vaccinators mark the homes with chalk to show a completed vaccination or indicate homes that may need to be revisited. #EndPolio

Tips for using templates for letters to the editor:

  • Review the guidelines of the media outlets you’ll send the letter to, and follow the instructions for submitting it.
  • Consider designating one person from your district or region, such as the Rotary public image coordinator or End Polio Now coordinator, to write and submit the letter. This will help prevent any outlets from receiving too many similar letters from Rotary members.
  • Personalize the letter. Include actions that you or your club or district have taken, or will take, to support polio eradication.
