Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system. To provide awareness about the diseases and the importance of polio vaccine, Rotaract Club of United College of Nursing members actively participated in the Polio awareness drive in and around the rural area of Periyanaickenpalayam.
