Twelve-year-old Vivi Ebert came home from school with a severe headache. The next day, she could not move her arms and legs.
This video tells the story of Vivi and the 1950s polio epidemic in Copenhagen that led to medical innovations and laid the foundation for the modern-day Intensive Care Unit in hospitals.
Along with its partners, Rotary International and clubs around the world have helped immunize 2.5 billion children in 122 countries.
