Question

Legs are affected when a person suffers from polio true or false​

Answer 1

true

Because polio is a preventable life-threatening disease.

All adults and children need to be immunised to protect against polio.

People who are infected with polio but don't have any symptoms are still contagious.

Symptoms vary from mild, flu-like symptoms to paralysis and possibly death.

People who have had polio may experience effects later in life called the late effects of polio.

The late effects of polio are when physical symptoms return 15 years or more after the first polio infection.

It is important to avoid too much physical exertion if you experience the late effects of polio.

Aids and equipment (including orthoses, braces, walking sticks and electric scooters) can help relieve the symptoms of the late effects of polio.
