State of Emergencies have been hitting New York and polio tops the list, this month joining monkeypox. Polio is the latest medical concern to hit New York. Currently, there is only one documented case, in Rockland County. But officials say they have now detected the virus in wastewater in four New York counties and the city. A simple solution he says is to make sure you are up to date with your doctor and recommended vaccines. The statewide average of vaccination is nearly 80% among children who have received 3 polio immunizations before their second birthday. New York Dept. of Health hopes to achieve a rate of well over 90%.
