March 2024 Newsletter

Inside this Issue:

Anesthesia and PPS:  This topic can be complex for both polio survivors and our caregivers. You are NOT alone. We have two articles to share, from both the US and Australia.

Jean Macnamara, MD:  Her work identifying more than one strain of the poliovirus contributed to the development of a successful polio vaccine. She is one of the Unsung Heroes of Polio Eradication.

The Worldwide Effort to Eradicate Polio Has Not Come Without Sacrifice: Dr. Abdur Rehman believed he had a ‘sacred’ duty to vaccinate children. He paid the ultimate price.

The QR code on our updated Anesthesia Warning Card allows your physician easy and immediate access to the articles from Australia, Canada, Denmark and the US, and to the biographies of the authors as well.

• When survivors show this card (available in both English and Spanish) to their physicians, the conversation that results can often lead to the "optimal outcome“ that Dr. Calmes refers to in her article.

• Our newsletter explains how easy it is for you to get one.
