1008. An Update on Poliomyelitis

Dr. GG deFiebre of SRNA was joined by Drs. Amy Rosenfeld, Sarah
Hopkins, and Katie Lockwood for an Ask the Expert podcast episode
titled “An Update on Poliomyelitis.” The experts began by
providing an overview of poliovirus and how it causes
poliomyelitis. They also discussed the major symptoms of
poliomyelitis, the two types of poliovirus vaccines, and how
poliomyelitis differs from acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) and
transverse myelitis (TM). Finally, the experts gave general
recommendations about these vaccines for people who have
neuroimmune disorders or who are on immunosuppression.
