“SINGAPORE – A five-month-old baby girl from Indonesia who arrived in Singapore on Jan 26 has been confirmed to be an imported case of vaccine-associated polio.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Feb 7 confirmed the imported case of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis after the girl was taken here for medical treatment. MOH said the girl is immunocompromised, which means her immune system is not fighting off infections well enough.

She was previously vaccinated with one dose of oral polio vaccine (OPV) and one dose of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in Indonesia.” https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/moh-confirms-5-month-old-indonesian-infant-an-imported-case-of-vaccine-associated-polio#:~:text=SINGAPORE%20%E2%80%93%20A,IPV)%20in%20Indonesia.

A PSALM OF DAVID

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Psalm 23
