Do adults need boosters for polio?
Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) can prevent polio. A 1916 polio epidemic in the United States killed 6,000 people and paralyzed 27,000 more. In the early 1950's there were more than 25,000 cases of polio reported each year. Polio vaccination was begun in 1955. By 1960 the number of reported cases had dropped to about 3,000, and by 1979 there were only about 10. The success of polio vaccination in the U.S. and other countries has sparked a world-wide effort STARTED BY Rotary International, WHO, UNICEFF and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to eliminate polio. Polio today has been eliminated from the United States. But the disease is still common in 3 endemic countries, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. It would only take one person infected with polio virus coming from another country to bring the disease back here if we were not protected by vaccine. If the effort to eliminate the disease from the world is successful, some day we won't need polio vaccine. Until then, we need to keep getting our children vaccinated until POLIO is finally eradicated.
