The chain of transmission that introduced polio to New York is thought to have originated from abroad in someone who received the oral polio vaccine. It now uses a vaccine administered as a shot in which the virus is inactivated, which means it does not replicate and mutate. In rare cases, the virus used in the vaccine can mutate, become virulent and spread to others. The vaccination rate is 60% in Rockland, 58% in Orange, 62% in Sullivan and 79% in Nassau, according to the health department. All children should receive four doses of the polio vaccine. Polio immunization is safe and effective — protecting nearly all people against disease who receive the recommended doses."

La evidencia sugiere que el virus, alguna vez considerado erradicado de EE.UU., se está propagando en el estado.

Una vacuna de polio inactivo se usa tanto en EE.UU. "Si usted o su hijo no están vacunados o al día en la vacunación, el riesgo de una enfermedad discapacitante es real". La orden de emergencia que emitió la gobernadora Hochul este viernes es la tercera que se declara este año, después de órdenes parecidas que se emitieron en respuesta a la pandemia del coronavirus y a la viruela del mono. El caso luego se vinculó genéticamente a la polio paralítica que se encontró en una muestra de aguas residuales recolectada en agosto en el condado de Nassau. Las autoridades han empezado a monitorear las aguas residuales en el estado en búsqueda de rastros de poliovirus después de que en julio, un hombre no vacunado en el condado Rockland, al norte de la ciudad de Nueva York, contrajera el virus -el primer caso que se haya registrado desde 2013 - y sufriera parálisis.
