Poliovirus can cause paralysis in children, including rendering the lungs non-functional. The virus has been eradicated in developed countries, thanks to widespread vaccination over the course of decades.

"The Health Ministry would like to remind the public that the main way to protect children from polio is through the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). In addition, in order to prevent the virus from being transmitted, it is important to ensure proper handwashing."
