Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Polio usually affects children below five years of age. It does not infect adults even if they are exposed to it. Since you are fully vaccinated you need not worry about getting an infection. Rest assured and stop worrying.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
