Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a crippling childhood disease caused by the poliovirus and preventable through immunization. Affecting mostly children under the age of five, polio — which has no cure and can only be prevented by giving a child multiple vaccine doses — can lead to irreversible paralysis.
