There is a high risk of
polio spreading in Ebola-ravaged Guinea and Mali, the World Health Organization
said on Monday, after a Guinean toddler travelled to Mali and became that
country's first case of the crippling disease in more than four years.
"The
risk of spread is considered to be high in both countries due to low rates of
vaccination coverage in both Mali and Guinea," WHO spokesman Cory
Couillard said in an emailed comment to Reuters.
