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
