World Polio Day: 24 October

World Polio Day is celebrated on October 24 every year to raise awareness for polio vaccination and eradication of polio.

World Polio Day was established by Rotary International over a decade ago to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk who led the first team to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis.

2021 theme for World Polio Day is “One Day. One Focus: Ending Polio – delivering on our promise of a polio-free world!”
