A NEW online resource on the
Late Effects of Polio (LEOP) was
launched yesterday, highlighting
that those who had contact with
the poliomyelitis virus in the 1950s
are at risk of developing the
condition even if they had no
symptoms at the time.
LEOP is characterised by a range
of symptoms such as muscle
weakness, pain, fatigue and
breathing difficulties.
It’s been 40 years since Australia
had a case of “wild polio,” with the
polio vaccine provided free by the
govt for children at two, four and
six months and four years of age.
