Cases of polio in Israel are highly rare, but not unheard of, and occur almost entirely among children in unvaccinated populations.

In May 2023, an unvaccinated 8-year-old in Safed caught the virus; three other children contracted the virus from that child, but showed no clinical symptoms. In 2022, an unvaccinated 4-year-old was hospitalized with paralysis from the virus, prompting a vaccination campaign in Jerusalem.
