The detection of poliovirus is a call to action

[html]New York City has detected poliovirus in sewage, according to state and local health officials, suggesting likely local circulation of the virus. This co*es as no surprise since last month a case of paralytic polio was confirmed in a resident in Rockland County -- just on the outskirts of the city. As the state health co*missioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said, "For every one case of paralytic polio identified, hundreds more may be undetected."[/html]
