Reporter hi, dave. Good morning. Theres concern this morning from the Public Health officer here at marin county. He says hes concerned that there were several different factors that could lead to a resurgence of polio, something we havent seen in the country for 40 years. The reason why this concern is because of what he has seen from the recent measles outbreak. Now, dr. Willis says because of that, hes urging people to get the polio vaccine even though it has not been seen in the country for years. It can be fatal or leave a person paralyzed. An estimated 35,000 a year got polios from the 1930s to the 50s. It got close to 50,000 in the 1950s as well. But in 1979, the u. S. Declared the disease eradicated because of the vaccine but, again, with the recent cases of measles, dr. Willis is concerned the same can happen with polio. Now, he tells the marin independent journal reporter now, also in the article, it talks about how fewer than half of marin schools are vaccinated against polio. These are the percentages of kids who are not fully vaccinated against polio. It doesnt mention kids who are partially vaccinated. New Village School, 65 . Bolinas, 64 . San geranimo, 63 .
