An important milestone in the effort to eradicate all forms of polioviruses: SAGE endorsed wider use of the novel OPV2 vaccine - the first vaccine that was authorized under WHO EUL - to wipe out type 2 outbreaks. #endpolio @postpolionews @EndPolioNow

Big milestone for IDDjobs at not even a year old! I’m glad it’s proving useful. Theres still more to do to get into every corner of our field though!

Our paper on Type 2 poliovirus detection after global withdrawal of the trivalent oral polio vaccine is out today @VaccineEpi @anandaonline @michelzaffran @mponssalort

Wild-type transmission of poliovirus is nearly halted. To eradicate poliomyelitis, cessation of vaccine-derived poliovirus transmission must also be addressed. Strategies to accomplish this are analyzed. https://t.co/o1J4qbip3M
