The epidemics of poliomyelitis in North America have long since passed, thanks to the development of the Salk and Sabin vaccines of the 1950’s. For most people in America, including polio survivors, polio is a disease of the past. However, effects of the disease are still very evident in today’s society. As survivors age, they are reporting numerous new physical problems. Along with the physical problems, many fears and questions are arising.

There are a number of resources available from Polio Nova Scotia to address many of these fears and questions, and to enable Polio survivors to better adapt and cope with their daily lives.
