Senator Gustavo Rivera on Detection of Polio in New York City's Wastewater

GOVERNMENT HEADER

 "The recent announcement by our city and state health officials that the poliovirus has been detected in our City's wastewater is alarming. While no case of polio has been confirmed in New York City, we must remain vigilant and above all, diligent in our efforts to protect our health and that of our loved ones. As Chair of the Senate Health Committee, I urge all New Yorkers to make sure their polio vaccines, and that of their children, are up to date. The polio vaccine has proven to be our best and most effective prevention tool against polio and that has not changed. If you have concerns, I encourage you to speak with your medical provider and get informed about the benefits of this vaccine."
