On World Polio Day, the global medical community reminds us that it is better to prevent the disease than to cure it.
Polio is a dangerous infectious disease that affects the nervous system and can lead to incurable paralysis and death.
Children under 5 years of age are most vulnerable to poliomyelitis. However, adults can also get polio.
The disease is transmitted from person to person. About 70% of people infected with polio have no visible symptoms, but continue to infect others. Some people may have flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and headache.
Vaccination against this disease according to the Vaccination Calendar will protect a person throughout his life. In addition, this vaccine is free in Ukraine.
