Measles, mulmps, rubella (MMR vaccine), smallpox, and polio have all been virtually eradicated by consistent vaccine use.
In 1955, a vaccine was developed that used weakened forms of the virus. This vaccine and the subsequent Sabin vaccine nearly wiped out polio in the world
Polio is one disease without much occurance today.
Polio hasn't been completely eradicated. It is no longer in North America. However, parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria are believed to still show signs of Polio. This disease can be eradicated though. To eradicate a disease, you must first stop the transmission of the virus. This means that immunizations must be given. This should mainly start with children before they are susceptible to the virus. Eventually the virus will die because it will not be allowed to transmit to another person.
Medicine has not been as successful as we would have imagined in that area. Those diseases are alive and well in other parts of the world. Smallpox is severe.
Polio is rare today due to widespread vaccination efforts, specifically the introduction of the oral polio vaccine in the 1960s and subsequent global immunization campaigns. These efforts have greatly reduced the number of polio cases worldwide and helped control the spread of the disease.
The reason Polio was eradicated in the UK in the first place was wide-spread and state-sponsored vaccination. If vaccination stops, it opens people to the risk of not only contracting it when travelling, but carrying it back to the UK and spreading it to those who haven't been vaccinated
Small Pox had been eradicated around the world.
Everyone who has been affected by polio have benefited from the post polio program. This includes the people who were infected by polio and the people who took care of them.
No, the only infectious disease to have been completely eradicated by a coordinated vaccination program is smallpox.
no because you have it
Currently there is no treatment that can cure polio. There are immunizations present and also some treatment methods to provide relief while the body fights against the polio virus. This is called supportive care. Supportive care can include fluids, medications, and lots of rest.
