Inside this Issue:
​
This Itching Has to GO ! - Skin Care for Polio Survivors
  • ​Are you plagued by chronic itching – especially in areas where you constantly put pressure on your skin from lying down?  
  • After receiving a question from a survivor, Marny K. Eulberg, MD has written an article regarding skin care for polio survivors. 
“Breakthrough” Infections is a term we hear frequently in these days of COVID. 
  • ​Did you know there were breakthrough infections with the Polio Vaccine? 
  • Richard L. Bruno, HD, PhD has written a fascinating article explaining this (now familiar) term. 
  • He reminds us that no vaccine for any disease is 100% effective in preventing infection in every person who receives it.
Do you let what you can't do get in the way of what you can do? 
  • ​Polio survivor Sharon Richardson reminds herself on a daily basis that her limitations will never get in the way of going forward and living her dreams. 
  • Our network contributor, Pamela Sergey, is here with a review of Sharon’s memoir - Painting Light in Polio’s Shadow: One Artist’s Struggles.  A true lover of fine art, Pamela enjoyed working with Sharon on this article.
Polio and COVID19 – Then and Now From Three Polio Survivors.
  • As a result of living with this new and very destructive virus, the memories that are emerging for polio survivors have been honest and often very powerful. 
  • We were honored when the Pennsylvania Immunization Coalition (PAIC) featured three survivors  from our network for their Blog.  ​
