All children aged one to nine in London are to be offered a polio vaccine or booster, as experts warn the virus could spread.
The news comes as health officials have reported “some transmission” of the virus in the English capital after detecting poliovirus in sewage samples.
Polio can cause paralysis in rare cases and can be life-threatening. While there have been no confirmed cases as of writing - health officials have recommended that children get the vaccine to ensure full protection from the virus.
