There is no treatment for #polio, but #vaccination prevents the #disease. Polio primarily affects #children under 5, although anyone who is #unvaccinated can contract the #virus. One of every 200 infections results in permanent #paralysis. Of those cases, up to 10% die when #breathing muscles become immobilized, according to the #WHO.
