متن کاملManaging the risk of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus during the endgame: oral poliovirus vaccine needs
BACKGROUND The Global Polio Eradication Initiative plans for coordinated cessation of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) use, beginning with serotype 2-containing OPV (i.e., OPV2 cessation) followed by the remaining two OPV serotypes (i.e., OPV13 cessation). The risk of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) outbreaks after OPV cessation of any serotype depends on the serotype-specific popul...
متن کاملContribution of Environmental Surveillance Toward Interruption of Poliovirus Transmission in Nigeria, 2012–2015
BACKGROUND Cases of paralysis caused by poliovirus have decreased by >99% since the 1988 World Health Assembly's resolution to eradicate polio.
