The source of the disease in this case is a strain of polio virus that has changed and can cause disease in those who are not vaccinated, the statement said.
Following the infection, the ministry called for adherence to routine vaccinations at the recommended times and the completion of vaccinations for those who have not yet done so.
The ministry’s regional health administration in Jerusalem has begun an epidemiological investigation and will contact people who were close to the child for specific guidance.
Further recommendations will be decided upon the findings, the ministry noted.
