Polio Injection

I'm 13 and I got to have an injection of polio tomorrow so I was wondering what it is and how he feels?

It is like any other injection into the muscle of your arm, it stings a little.

Believe me, it is absolutely necessary that you get the vaccination. You may think that polio has been eliminated. But it has not been completely eliminated.

I was a child in the 50s and our parents have been totally paranoid about we see people and be in public places in hot weather. Your generation is concerned about fire training, we are afraid of having perhaps paralyzed by the disease.

My husband has the virus of polio when he was 8 years old. He spent one year at Children's Hospital. His spine was affected and it has a significant scoliosis. Her shoulders and upper chest region does not develop itself, it has limited use of his arms. His best friend as he had at the same time. He has very little use of his lower body. Has been on crutches for most of his life. He is now in a wheelchair as an older man.

It is therefore very important to keep these current vaccines.

Vaccination against polio is given in a series of gunshots. The number of shots required and the timing of recall depends on the age of the person being vaccinated. Follow your doctor's instructions or the schedule recommended by the Ministry of Health of the State you live

Make sure you receive all recommended doses of this vaccine. If you do not receive the full series of vaccines, you can not be fully protected against the disease.

You can still receive a vaccine if you have a cold or a fever. In the case of a more severe illness with a fever or any type of infection, wait until you get better before receiving this vaccine.You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had an allergic reaction potentially deadly runway after the first shot.Keep any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. When you receive a booster dose, you should tell your doctor if the previous shots caused any side effects.

Infection with the vaccine against polio is far more dangerous to health than receiving the vaccine to protect against it. Like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects, but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.

Vaccination against polio is used to help prevent these diseases in children.

The vaccine works by exposing you to a small dose of the bacteria or a protein of the bacterium, which causes the body to develop immunity to the disease. This vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body.

vaccine against polio for adults and children who are at least two months.

Like any vaccine, vaccination against polio can not provide protection against the disease in each person.
