Polio vaccines are available. Taking those vaccines after birth and in early childhood can help to resist the disease.
To prevent polio.
Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine. This does not cure polio but it does prevent it. Polio remains incurable.
The kind of vaccine that prevents Polio is called IPV.
No. It is only used to prevent polio.
Polio
Polio actually can not be cured. There is, however, a vaccination that can be taken to prevent people who do not have polio, from getting polio. The polio vaccination was created by Salk and Sabin. Originally, the polio vaccination by Salk was administered in the form of a shot. The Sabin is given by mouth.
Polio is NOT hereditary. It is caused by a virus, poliovirus, that is highly contagious. A vaccine exists to prevent catching the disease.
To prevent the spread of polio, ensure that all vaccinations are up to date, particularly the polio vaccine for children, as it provides immunity against the virus. Promote good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, especially in areas where polio is still prevalent. Additionally, support public health initiatives focused on vaccination campaigns and educate your community about the importance of polio prevention.
POLIO
Yes. I suggest you get the vaccination. Polio is EXTREMELY rare now in the world. It is slowly developing to be the second fully eradicated disease in the world right after Smallpox.
By giving you a watered down version of the disease, white blood cells in your immune system learn which antibody to produce and how to fight polio. If you get the disease for real, they can make it much quicker, and therefore get rid of it before you even show symptoms.
Polio is a disease caused by a virus. It causes paralysis in the muscles. If it affects the muscles of the chest, it can prevent breathing and the individual suffocates.
