poliomyelitis

Andy, do you remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books that you had back in the day? Do you remember those ones? Did you have those back in the 1400s?

No, but I had Ricketts and Polio.

Well, on this episode, we're going to set up some common situations faced by many of us in the trade.

And then we'll present two different options to solve each one.

On cue, Sports Bar and Front Royal.

On the 24th is Pores for Polio, which is a karaoke fundraiser.

Great cause there.

You guys played that stage? At On Cue?

But if when you have the ability or the option to go either way and dosing is not a problem and, you know, then people went with the injection.

But other places where it's so much easier to go around I mean my dad was a part of Peace Corps and one of the earlier works he did was go with the troop and they would go around and give you know so they needed something portable something that you didn't need a lot of skills to administer something and you know so it made absolute sense to continue to use our polio

and Polio almost eradicated.

There's still pockets in some parts of the world, but almost eradicated.

Well, it's time to take our second break, so we're going to do that, and then we'll be right back to Health Talk.

Later this month is World Polio Day.

It's Polio Awareness Month, I think, this month here in October.

Um, and we were as a, as a global community, we were, you know, a frog's hair away from completely eradicating polio COVID hit.

They shut down, uh, you know, obviously borders and people couldn't come and go.
