New York Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state disaster emergency amid evidence of circulating poliovirus, a move that will increase resources including expanding the network of polio vaccine administrators, state health officials say
Sequence analysis of wastewater surveillance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found poliovirus samples in Nassau County, bringing the total to 5 counties -- Rockland County, Orange County, Sullivan County, New York City, and now, Nassau County.The August sample from Nassau County on Long Island has been genetically linked to the case identified in Rockland county -- showing further evidence of expanding community spread.
"Bolstering the immunization drive, the E.O. immediately expands the network of polio vaccine administrators with the addition of EMS workers, midwives, and pharmacists and authorizes physicians and certified nurse practitioners to issue non-patient specific standing orders for polio vaccines," the release from DHS said.
