Polio booster vaccines are expected to be offered to children under 10 to prevent the first community outbreak in Britain since the 1970s.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has repeatedly detected the poliovirus in London’s sewage works and had called on families to check children are fully vaccinated.
Now it is planning to give booster jabs to kids aged one to nine in Greater London regardless of where they are on their polio vaccine schedule.
