    Author: Mann JM, Bernier RH, Hinman AR.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1982 Dec; 26(6):135-9. PubMed ID: 7148637.
    Abstract:
    Adults who travel to areas where poliovirus is endemic or epidemic have a statistically small yet potentially important risk of exposure to wild poliovirus. Vaccination is recommended for persons at risk of acquiring poliovirus infection. The vaccination schedule depends on the time remaining before departure and the patient's immunization status.
