I don’t know but if it’s already spread between extended family members in London it sounds like it’s only get more prevalent.

Apparently they occasionally find just a solitary case but very , very rarely as many as this which is why they’re classing at a National incident

[Polio may be spreading in Britain for first time
in 40 YEARS: Strain of paralysis-causing virus
mutated from vaccine is 'likely' being transmitted
in London as health chiefs declare 'national incident'
Officials have found traces of a vaccine-derived
poliovirus in sewage samples in
North and East London
Thought that someone vaccinated with live
vaccine shed part of virus and spread it to
unvaccinated people
Parents are being urged to ensure their
children's vaccinations are up to date,
particularly after the pandemic
Officials said risk to public 'extremely low'
with one in 100 chance of paralysis
and high vaccine uptake]

Isn't Polio still one of the routine childhood vaccines?

I'm sure my son had a Polio vaccine when he got the other childhood and pre-school ones. Hopefully most people will have had a vaccine :shrug:

I think during covid some people ended up not getting their kids vaccinated for fear of catching covid or just not being able to access their surgery.

I guess it is these people they are targetting

Or illegal immigrants and how hard are they to find when no one knows who or where they are.

Sadly not ..


There have been multiple findings over a period of months all genetically related ..
that’s how they know it’s spreading from family member to other extended family members and contacts ... apparently

Scientists believe the virus originated from someone who was immunised abroad with the live oral polio vaccine, which hasn't been used in the UK since 2004.

That person then shed traces of the virus from their gut which were detected by the sewage sampling.

Oddly enough the microbiologist on Sky today said that it will have been brought in from another country .... as many other countries use a different way of immunising against Polio ( something along those lines anyway )

Think he said that we and the United States for example use the Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) whereas many others use active immunity. ( Injecting the microbes deliberately during immunisation/vaccination induces active immunity )

Yes and since then they’ve passed it onto many of their family / friends etc over the past few months

There is around 10% of Parents that have not got their under 5's
vaccinated,
that will be the UK problem.
