Can you cure poliomyelitis?
There is no cure for polio, but polio prevention is available through a vaccine. Polio vaccine in the United States is given as an inactivated polio vaccine. Approximately 90 percent or more of polio vaccine recipients develop protective antibodies to all three polio virus types after two doses, and at least 99 percent are immune following three doses. With the continued success of polio vaccination programs, a cure for polio may be possible within the next decade.
How does the polio vacine prevent polio?
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.

What is the substance in polio vaccine that makes it effective?
Pieces (or synthetic pieces) of the disease causing organism called antigens that can be recognized by the immune system as something that does not belong in the body. This prompts the immune system to produce antibodies that recognize those antigens and attack them the next time they appear, typically when challenged by the real disease causing organism.
Do polio microorganisms have the same antigens as a live pathogen?
Polio microorganisms, specifically the poliovirus, have distinct antigens that are specific to the virus itself. While these antigens can trigger an immune response similar to that of a live pathogen, they do not share the same antigens as other live pathogens. The immune system recognizes these unique poliovirus antigens, allowing for the production of antibodies specific to poliovirus during infection or vaccination.
How principle of immunization is implemented for eliminating polio?
The principle of immunization for eliminating polio is implemented through widespread vaccination campaigns using oral polio vaccine (OPV) and inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). These vaccines stimulate the immune system to develop antibodies against the poliovirus, thereby preventing infection and transmission. Global initiatives, such as the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, focus on reaching every child, especially in high-risk areas, through routine immunization and supplementary vaccination efforts. Surveillance and rapid response to outbreaks are also key components to ensure that polio is effectively eradicated.
Can cold water cause polio?
No, it takes the polio virus to cause polio. The polio virus can be defeated by having a polio vaccination.
