Polio Back in the United States

Four cases of Polio have hit a small Amish community in Minnesota. Three siblings and an infant from the community have been diagnosed with the virus, and state doctors expect more cases to turn up. None of the four have developed symptoms of the paralysis type of the virus, but health officials are still urging members of the community to be immunized to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. The only people at risk are those who are not immunized, the Amish people many times refuse the vaccine because they prefer to leave things up to God.
