Question
If family members have long-term contact with Children Paralysis patients, will it pose a risk of transmission to the children in the household?
Answer
Based on your description, if family members have long-term contact with Children Paralysis patients, the children in the household will not be infected as a result. Polio primarily spreads through two routes: fecal-oral transmission and airborne transmission. The former can be facilitated by flies, and the latter spreads quite rapidly. Young children under five are highly susceptible to infection, so they should be actively protected and timely vaccinated against polio. It is recommended to wash hands before meals or upon returning home to maintain personal hygiene.
