More than 5,000 polio vaccines have been administered in Rockland County since the first known infection in the U.S. in nearly a decade was detected in an individual earlier this summer, according to county officials.
Poliovirus has now been detected in sewage samples from four counties in the New York metro area as well as in the city itself. The counties are Rockland, Orange, Sullivan, and the latest, Nassau.
New York began wastewater surveillance after an unvaccinated adult caught polio in Rockland County in July and suffered from paralysis, the first known infection in the U.S. in nearly a decade.
