Question
What symptoms might a child experience with pediatric paralysis? What dangers could this condition pose to children?
Answer
Pediatric paralysis is transmitted through fecal sample testing for the virus, as the virus can remain in human excretions for up to two to three weeks. The best way to prevent this disease is to have children vaccinated with the oral or injectable pediatric polio vaccine, which can provide over 90% protection. The World Health Organization recommends that children be vaccinated with the oral polio vaccine to enhance their natural and intestinal immunity.
