Rotary International, the private service organization, launches PolioPlus, aimed at immunizing every child against polio. Rotary's million members worldwide set a fund-raising goal of US $120 million to help eradicate polio, an amount they more than double in three years. In 2001, a Rotarian vaccinates a Nigerian infant.
