After a case of polio in the US state of New York and the discovery of poliovirus in sewage water samples, shadows of fear have spread and the importance of polio vaccination in the local population has been emphasized.
It should be noted that after a decade, the first case of polio was reported in New York on the 22nd of last month.
According to the foreign news agency, after 2013 in the United States, there was a young man who was not vaccinated against the polio virus.
Health officials are also urging people to get the polio vaccine, with Rockland County offering free polio vaccinations.
Fear of the polio virus also exists among ordinary citizens, a woman 'who is a designer by profession' told the news agency that she was horrified when a young man contracted polio in her own area.
The woman said that my mother did not vaccinate me as a child because she is against vaccination, now I am vaccinated but it seems that many of us are at risk.
It should be noted that there is no cure for polio but it can be prevented by vaccination, it affects mostly children causing muscle weakness and paralysis and in severe cases permanent disability and death.
