Polio Awareness Month - World Polio Day October 24th 2020

We would like to share in the same theme as Polio Australia.

The Annual Polio Awareness Month is an opportunity to raise the profile of Australia’s polio community and increase awareness about the Late Effects of Polio among health professionals and the wider public. After a vote at one of our recent Zoom meetings, our theme for this year is PPS: “Past Pandemic Survivors”*, highlighting two major points: polio survivors have lived through epidemic-induced isolation before, and Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS, known under the umbrella term Late Effects of Polio), affects thousands of Australians today.
