How do immunization help fight the polio epidemic?
Immunization is crucial in combating the polio epidemic as it helps to build herd immunity within communities, significantly reducing the spread of the virus. Vaccines, such as the oral polio vaccine (OPV) and inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), effectively protect individuals from infection and prevent severe disease. Widespread vaccination campaigns can interrupt transmission of the virus, leading to a decline in polio cases and ultimately contributing to the goal of eradicating the disease globally. Additionally, immunization protects vulnerable populations, including those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons, by reducing the overall incidence of polio.
