Description

Eunbyeol Wang and co-authors report how the Republic of Korea keeps watch for polio so the disease stays wiped out there. No case has been seen in the land since 1984, and the World Health Organization named it polio free in 2000, a status that needs a report each year.

Risk stays low thanks to high vaccine rates, but travel and new arrivals mean it cannot be set at zero. The 2024 report covers checks for weak limb cases, which met the world bar for the first time in four years. It also covers new sewer water checks that can spot the virus moving in a community.
