Notes: Data include both imported and indigenous polio infections, including those cases resulting from vaccine-derived polio vaccinations.

Definitions: Poliomyelitis (Polio): A crippling disease caused by any one of three related viruses; poliovirus types 1, 2 or 3. Polio is transmitted solely through fecal and oral routes and enters the body through the mouth when people eat food or drink water contaminated with excreta. The virus is easily spread in areas with poor hygiene. Polio is preventable by vaccine.
