In my little small brain and tattered records i thought polio vaccine is effective for kids below 5yrs.Its not effective for people over 5 rys Vaccines are effective for all ages. Polio is endemic in India, and considering their immunization rate is low (approx 375 million not immunised) it is wise to take the vaccine before going there. So its for our own good and not theirs? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

The question I guess is, can I get polio when I'm past 40?

Those Indian workers are damn bed-bug vectors??  .Eng Kamau should include a deep bath at the airport. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
