…it is believed the individual had not recently traveled outside the country to a place where type 2 vaccine-derived polio viruses are spreading…Only a small portion of people infected with polioviruses will go on to be paralyzed. /4

Vaccine derived polio is a virus that is a result of the oral polio vaccine (OPV), which is an attenuated virus, mutating to a more virulent strain. OPV is no longer used in developed countries, but is still used in some developing countries.
