AUSTRALIA'S health authorities began an emergency immunisation programme yesterday for passengers who shared a Thai Airways flight with a man diagnosed with polio.
Almost 250 people were on the flight from Bangkok to Melbourne early this month with a 22-year-old student from Pakistan who was later diagnosed with the first case of polio in Australia in 20 years, officials said.
About 100 of the mostly-Australian passengers had been contacted and efforts were being made to get in touch with the others after a national health alert was issued on Friday.
