I have long been in contact with patients suffering from post-polio syndrome.

Patient's question:

I have long been in contact with patients with post-polio syndrome, and I have children at home. Will it be contagious? Will it be contagious?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to your description, if you have long-term contact with patients with post-polio syndrome, your child will not be infected. Guidelines: Polio is mainly transmitted through the two routes mentioned above, one through the fecal route, and the other through droplet transmission of excrement, which can be achieved through the spread of flies. The speed of droplet transmission is also very fast. Infants under the age of 5 are very susceptible to infection and should be actively protected and vaccinated with the polio vaccine in a timely manner. Wash your hands before eating every day or after coming home.
