Global health authorities are once again sounding the alarm over polio, a disease many countries had hoped was nearly eradicated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level-2 travel advisory warning travellers to take enhanced precautions against poliovirus as cases and environmental detections resurface across multiple regions worldwide.
The advisory, aimed particularly at healthcare professionals such as pharmacists, comes as global surveillance systems detect circulating poliovirus in dozens of countries, reminding health experts that the fight against polio is far from over.
