Coca Cola Beverages Pakistan (CCBPL) has extended its support to the Rotary International’s Polio Plus Committee to aid them in the eradication of polio through awareness campaigns. The company has also offered its vans for the transportation of polio vaccines if need be. A polio awareness message will be carried on all Coca Cola bottle labels and a ring tone version of the message will be incorporated in all of Coca Cola’s call stations across the country. Coke billboard sites will also carry the polio message during National Immunisation Days (NIDs) and permanent message posters will be displayed on 250,000 coke coolers across Pakistan.
