Polio Vaccine

Polio is a highly contagious and sometimes fatal disease that primarily affects children under the age of five. Polio mainly affects the central nervous system and can cause permanent paralysis, respiratory failure, and death. There are no vaccines that prevent polio, but there are vaccines that can help prevent the spread of the disease. One vaccine, the polio vaccine, helps to prevent the spread of the disease by targeting the virus in the throat. This vaccine has a high success rate and is administered orally, unlike other vaccines that are administered via injection.
