All unvaccinated youngsters (17 and under) and children who are not up to date on vaccines should be inoculated. This is especially important if they live, work, go to school, or have frequent social connections in places where poliovirus has been identified in wastewater on several occasions, which currently includes Rockland, Orange, and Sullivan Counties. Most individuals (18 and older) have previously completed their Polio Vaccines series. Adults born and reared in the United States or elsewhere can assume they were vaccinated against polio as children, unless there are specific reasons to believe they were not.
Individuals who live or work in locations where poliovirus has been identified in wastewater on multiple occasions (Rockland, Orange, and Sullivan Counties) and are unvaccinated, under-vaccinated, or believe they are vaccinated should receive all recommended vaccination doses. Adults in New York who are unvaccinated, unaware of their immunization status, or are not up to date on Polio Vaccines should see a healthcare physician. If immunizations is advised but no doses are available, New Yorkers should contact their local health authority.
