The state of emergency in New York was declared due to the outbreak of the disease. The virus, which was thought to have been eradicated in the US, has been found in five counties.
The New York State Health Commissioner said in a press release on Friday that they can't role the dice when it comes to the disease. Paralytic disease is real if you or your child are unvaccinated.
In July, an unvaccinated man from Rockland County became the first person in the US to be diagnosed with a paralyzing disease. The person who contracted the disease was inoculated with an oral version of the vaccine, which hasn't been administered in the US in over a decade. People who are unvaccinated can be exposed to the weakened version of the polioviruses.
State health officials in New York began analyzing wastewater samples as people with the disease shed the virus in their stools. Genetic testing has confirmed the community spread of the disease.
The state of emergency will make it easier for emergency medical service workers to give the vaccine. The state's department of health now requires healthcare providers to send data on the effectiveness of the vaccine to it. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the vaccine is safe and effective at preventing the spread of the disease.
