Dear Post Polio Organizations,
Tuesday May 30th I met with Dr. Roberto Tapia Conyer, the Health
Subsecretary of Prevention and Promotion of the United Mexican State.

It is with great honor I tell you the Secretary of Health approved the
use of polio IPV vaccine in Mexico! I cannot tell you how I feel after all
work I have done, it is a great satisfaction for Post Polio LITAFF
Association A.C to achieve this goal. I went to this meeting with the idea
of telling the Secretary it is time they must change the polio vaccine they
use to vaccinate our children and it in must be one of his priorities.
They accepted my request! However, they need social organization to give
them support so they can start working on this change. January 2007 they
will make the official announcement to the world.

Since Litaff is a civil organization, they asked me to get letters from as
many International Post Polio Sequale (PPS) organizations as I could. We
need your help. Mexico's government needs all PPS organizations around the
world to support the motion that we need, to stop using the live vaccine in
our country! Mexican national politics, are like that of any other
country, a letter from our affiliate organization, IPPSO and all other
organizations worldwide, telling the Mexico government of the importance of
this vaccine change is very valuable. We want to make the same changes
that were made in the United States in 2000:

The more letters, signatures, and testimonies we receive, the more it will
help our Secretary of Health in the work he has to do. He has to deal with
several international procedures; your support will help when he explains to
OPMS (Mundial – World Panamerican of Health) to the OMS, etc. about the
importance of not using live vaccine in our country!

Please forward this letter to other PPS Organization, I appreciate very
much. He knows all ready about our affiliation with the International Post
Polio Support Organization (IPPSO) and he is so pleased, I told him how we
work together.

Thank you in advance for giving this support to Litaff and the Mexican
Secretary of Health. You may send all of your letters or emails to Dr.
Roberto Tapia Conyer, Secretary of Health, to me, Liliana Marasco Garrido at
litaffac@... and I will personally give them to him.

My heart is full of joy, and gratitude to God who helped me to make this
part of my dream come true. Many of you know I have worked with all my
enthusiasm and unconditional love, for this personal mission I decided to
take on 6 years ago.

My kind regards and love to all.



Liliana Marasco Garrido.
