Sero-immunity to poliovirus in children and young women: England 1972-4

P P Mortimer et al. J Hyg (Lond). 1975 Apr.

Abstract

A total of 292 children's sera and 706 antenatal sera from different parts of England were tested for the presence of poliovirus neutralizing antibodies. Little vairation was found between different areas and types of community, but a lower porportion of the 5-14 year old children had antibody than younger children and young adult women. The proportion of the young population with antibody, and the current acceptance rates for oral poliovirus vaccine are barely satisfactory.
