Baby's first year : Polio

Polio is a viral infection that affects the nervous system. It is known to cause permanent muscle paralysis. It can be fatal if the chest muscles are affected. All children in the UK are immunised against polio as part of the immunisation program. Unlike other vaccines, the polio vaccine is given by mouth as drops.

If your child has been recently immunised against polio, his stools will contain the virus for a few days after the vaccination. You must wash your hands carefully after changing your baby's nappy to protect yourself from catching the infection if you have not been immunised.
