    Updated August 11, 2022

    In July 2022, CDC was notified of a case of polio in an unvaccinated individual from Rockland County, New York, and is consulting with the New York State Department of Health on their investigation. Public health experts are working to understand how and where the individual was infected and to provide protective measures, such as vaccination services to the community to prevent the spread of polio to under- and unvaccinated individuals. This does not change CDC recommendations for polio vaccination. CDC urges everyone who is not fully vaccinated to complete the polio vaccination series as soon as possible. Small updates were made on this page to clarify vaccination recommendations for adults and some other specific populations.
