What age group is most susceptible to polio infection?

Infants and young children are the most susceptible to poliomyelitis, which is commonly known as “Infantile Paralysis” due to its tendency to primarily affect young children. However, vaccination efforts have significantly reduced the incidence of polio worldwide. Poliomyelitis primarily affects the muscles and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and potentially life-threatening complications.
