British Polio Fellowship

SUPPORTING, HELPING, AND EMPOWERING PEOPLE LIVING WITH POST POLIO SYNDROME

We provide information, welfare and support to those living with the effects to enable all to live full independent and integrated lives.

POST POLIO SYNDROME

Post Polio Syndrome (PPS) is a neurological condition that can occur in people who have had Polio. People may develop new symptoms of increasing weakness, stamina problems, fatigue and pain.

Polio & Vaccination

The IPV vaccine uses inactive (not live) Polio virus and does not cause Polio. Polio vaccine, given multiple times as per advice, almost always protects for life.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

Our information for Healthcare Profressionals includes essential information for those dealing with PPS for the first time or wanting to find out more. Find out more here.
