Our doctor’s opinion
“Polio is an endangered disease. But as long as the virus has a few people to infect, it can redevelop and wreak new havoc. As long as only one child is infected, the risk of infection with polio remains present. The vaccination work must therefore be continued, everywhere in the world. “ Dr Jacques Allard M.D. FCMFC. |
