摘要: Globally, polio cases have reached an all-time low, and type 2 poliovirus (one of three) is eradicated. Oral vaccine (OPV) has been the primary tool, however, in rare cases, OPV induces paralysis. In 2013, World Health Assembly endorsed phased withdrawal introduction inactivated (IPV) into childhood routine immunization schedules. Type will be withdrawn through a globally synchronized "switch" from trivalent (all three types) to bivalent (types 1 3). The switch happen 155 OPV-using countries between April 17(th) May 1(st), 2016. Planned activities reduce outbreak risks post-switch include following: tOPV campaigns increase immunity prior switch, monovalent OPV2 stockpiling respond outbreaks should they occur, containment both wild viruses, enhanced acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) environmental surveillance, response protocols, ensured access IPV OPV.
