🧵 #Poliovirus update
Following traces of poliovirus found in sewage samples taken from North and East London, we are working with @MHRAgovuk to expand this surveillance. This is on a precautionary basis to determine whether the virus is spreading to other areas.
This strategy will continue to be reviewed and adapted as new evidence emerges. Nationally the overall risk of paralytic polio is considered low because most people are protected from this by vaccination. Read more: gov.uk/government/new…
Dr Vanessa Saliba, Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA, said:

"No cases of polio have been reported and for the majority of the population, who are fully vaccinated, the risk is low.

🔊 🧵 Important – COVID-19 vaccines and pregnancy 🤰

Incorrect information about COVID-19 vaccines and pregnancy has been circulating online. If you are pregnant and have not yet been vaccinated, it is strongly recommended you get the COVID vaccine.
The advice has not changed. Extensive data shows the vaccine is safe and highly effective against serious disease.

73% of women in England who gave birth in May 2022 had at least one COVID-19 vaccination before they delivered.
Vaccination coverage increased across all groups of women compared to the Dec 2021 -Feb 2022 period. However, there continue to be differences in uptake levels within certain groups.
