Bob and Sherrin Palmateer - SPOUSAL
Polio Immunization Tour

Sherrin and I are going to India with Calindiatours in February, 2016.

 

There will not be very many more opportunities to take part in a polio immunization day.  Nigeria has just passed 1 year with no new polio cases.  To the end of June there have only been 29 new cases of polio from the wild virus in the world, 25 from Pakistan and 4 from  Afghanistan.  Down from 105 last year.  India has been polio free for over 3 years, but immunizations are still going on until at least the virus is totally eliminated from our world.  We have chosen to go to India because it is safer than either Pakistan or Afghanistan.
