The polio vaccine you got as a kid should still be working.
Spearman explains that the vaccines helped to nearly eradicate polio in the US in 1979. Since then, the rare cases that pop up are usually from someone who has traveled out of the country where the virus is still endemic. However, those instances are so well controlled with the current vaccines that they never have erupted into a large-scale outbreak.Short answer: no. According to the CDC,because of the small risk of vaccine-derived poliovirus. But that does not mean it stops working.
Also known as the Sabin vaccine, the oral pills were one of the reasons why the polio epidemic ended in the US. “There were tens of thousands of polio cases yearly in the US in the 1940s and ‘50s,” explains Spearman. “Then the Salk vaccine and Sabin vaccine, which is the oral polio vaccine, came out and cases fell dramatically.”
“People that have taken the oral polio vaccine versus the inactivated would still have appropriate immunity,” adds Hoy. “So it would not be recommended that they would have to get a polio booster.” At the time of publication, the CDC has not released any recommendation that individuals who received either vaccine series will need an extra dose of the inactivated vaccine.
“The most important thing is if you have a good record of being fully vaccinated as a child, then you’re safe,” adds Spearman. “And you don’t have to worry at this point about getting any boosters.”For people who know they are unvaccinated, it is possible to catch up as an adult. However, because the immunization is a three-shot series, you won’t be fully protected immediately. After the first dose, your second is scheduled one to two months later.
. Having a bit of stool on your hands from contaminated foods, water, or surfaces can make its way to the respiratory tract if you touch your mouth. Some recommendations include:Using hand sanitizer with at least 60-percent alcohol“But if someone is unvaccinated, I wouldn’t just practice good hygiene,” Spearman says. “I would certainly get vaccinated.
