NEW YORK — New York health officials on Thursday reported a polio case, the first in the U.S. in nearly a decade.
State officials said it appeared the person had a vaccine-derived strain of the virus, perhaps from someone who got live vaccine — available in other countries, but not the U.S. — and spread it. In 1979, polio was declared eliminated in the U.S., meaning there was no longer routine spread of the virus in the country. Rarely, travelers with polio have brought infections into the U.S., with the last such case in 2013.
According to the CDC’s most recent childhood vaccination data, about 93% of 2-year-olds had received at least three doses of polio vaccine.Drug Overdose Deaths Rose More Among Black and Indigenous Americans During COVID-19 Pandemic
