The Ada Rotary Club raised the  “End Polio Now” flag in the  Depot Park on Monday.

Rotary members in Ada are among thousands who reached out on World Polio Day to raise awareness, funds and support to end polio – an incurable but vaccine preventable disease that still threatens children in parts of the world today.

Poliomyelitis (polio) is a paralyzing and potentially fatal disease that  invades  the nervous system and can  cause  total paralysis in a matter of hours. It can strike at any age but mainly affects children under 5 years old.
