Polio Rise – Update
You may be aware that traces of the polio virus have been found in sewage in London Boroughs and the best way to protect children is to make sure they are fully up to date with their vaccinations.
A letter from NHS England went out to all parents/carers in the 32 London Boroughs with children aged between 1-9 late last week inviting them to receive a dose of vaccine against polio, for some this will be an additional dose, for others who are not up to date with their routine vaccinations it will be a catch-up dose. Those that should have recieved one of these letters can book in a polio vaccine now.
