Nine newly immunized school boys in Ethiopia proudly display their freshly painted purple pinkies on National Immunization Day.
Millions and millions of children in endemic countries know that a freshly painted purple pinkie means freedom from Polio. When local children make a 1.00 contribution to Polio Plus, we mark their pinkies with the same gentian violet used around the world on NID National Immunization Day. This is their personal symbol of one child free from polio forever.
