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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

[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] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...on-sewage.html |
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: |

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

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 ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Yes and since then they’ve passed it onto many of their family / friends etc over the past few months Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
