The polio virus is responsible for cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP). I understand that the polio virus is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to paralysis, breathing problems, or even death, and that Polio is often recognized because of symptoms such as neck and back stiffness, abnormal reflexes, and trouble with swallowing and breathing. Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, it has no cure, but there are safe and effective vaccines. Polio can be classified as either symptomatic or asymptomatic (with or without symptoms). The strategy to eradicate polio is therefore based on preventing infection by immunizing every child until transmission stops and the world is polio-free.
