@nursefrombirth And here I was thinking polio was gone forever. Lol, how naive of me. Maybe once ebola gets here things might change, but I doubt it.
@Tail Yes, I think we all thought that but this county has a very low vaccination rate and according to the article "Given the low vaccination rates in Rockland County, it's woefully unsurprising that polio has managed to experience a comeback."
@nursefrombirth I was under the impression that everybody got their polio vaccines in like 1st grade.
Should we be more wary of polio than monkeypox?
@nursefrombirth well here's hoping for the best. Which, for the US, is realistically not that great.
