DOI: 10.1007/s10903-022-01363-3
Abstract: Migration-flows pose the risk of poliovirus reintroduction from endemic countries to Greece. This study aims to evaluate serologic-immunity/vaccination against poliomyelitis in newly-arriving migrant children. Demographic-immunisation data and blood-serum were obtained from migrants 1-14years-old, referred to… read more here.
