SCOPE :
You may have seen reports on the news recently about polio virus being detected in London sewage. This means that it is possible that there has been some spread of the virus between people in the London area. Polio is rare but can be very serious for unvaccinated people, so it is important to make sure everyone is protected. The best way to prevent polio is to make sure your child is up to date with their vaccinations. Polio vaccination is offered as part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination schedule.
JCVI ( JOINT COMMITTEE ON VACCINATION AND IMMUNISATION ) RESPONSE:
Children ages 1 – 9 will be offered a polio vaccination via their GP
27/09/2022 – UPDATE
