The NHS states that polio is a serious viral infection that used to be common in the UK and worldwide.
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention explains that the numbers of “wild polio” has decreased by more than 99.9 percent worldwide since 1988 when the first Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched.
The last evidence of wild poliovirus type 1 transmission in Nigeria was back in September 2016, leaving only two polio-endemic countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan.
However, 2019 statistics released by the NHS revealed a decrease in the coverage of vaccinations in the UK, with all 13 routine vaccinations for children under the age of five, including Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR), coverage is declining in England.
