Modified vaccine brings new hope to the fight against polio
The cover story in the October issue of Rotary magazine highlighted a new tool in the fight against polio: a re-engineered vaccine called the novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2).
 
This modified vaccine was created to address variant polio outbreaks occurring across the globe. You can find the story online or listen to it on the Rotary Voices podcast channel (available on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts).

You can also listen to the โ€œOutsmarting Polioโ€ episode, which includes a discussion with Carol Pandak, Rotaryโ€™s director of PolioPlus, Ananda Bandyopadhyay, deputy director of the polio team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Jason Keyser, managing editor of Rotary magazine. They discuss variant outbreaks, the new hope provided by nOPV2, and provide an update on Rotaryโ€™s latest efforts to fight the disease.
