Sanofi Pasteur and Rotary International Ring NYSE Bells Worldwide

Sanofi Pasteur is the largest company devoted entirely to human vaccines. Rotary International is the world's first service club organization with volunteers working internationally to improve health and sanitation, provide education, promote peace, and to deliver vaccines. Together, the two organizations are working to eradicate polio. When they started, there were 500,000 cases of paralytic polio a year. This past year, there were less than 1,000 cases.

For global awareness of the cause, closing bells were rung simultaneously in Amsterdam, Lisbon, Paris, Brussels, and New York. Landmarks around the world were lit with the End Polio Now message.
