The virus lives in an infected person’s throat and intestines. It enters the body through the mouth and spreads through contact with the feces (poop) of an infected person and, though less common, through droplets from a sneeze or cough. You can get infected with poliovirus if you have feces on your hands and you touch your mouth. Also, you can get infected if you put in your mouth objects like toys that are contaminated with feces (poop).]]> 2018-02-09 13:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/smar0553/675b2bzq8uxn/wish/230014100 What are the vaccines? smar0553 https://padlet.com/smar0553/675b2bzq8uxn/wish/230014627 There are two types of vaccine that can prevent polio: inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) and oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV).]]> 2018-02-09 13:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/smar0553/675b2bzq8uxn/wish/230014627 What are some complications? smar0553 https://padlet.com/smar0553/675b2bzq8uxn/wish/230015165 Paralysis

    Polio is rare in the United States, but it still exists in a few countries. So it’s possible for people to get polio when they travel — and spread it to people who aren’t vaccinated when they come home.
