Aim: Analyze the state of population immunity to polioviruses in children population of 14 administrative territories of the Russian Federation.
Materials And Methods: Antibody titers against reference vaccine poliovirus serotypes 1, 2 and 3 were determined by using neutralization reaction in cell culture Hep-2.
Results: Several years after the termination of conduction of National immunizations days the percent of seronegative children was shown to increase, especially to poliovirus serotype 3, in most of the territories. Possible reasons for fluctuation of geometric mean antibody titers against polioviruses in children in various territories as well as in various years in the same territory were established.
Conclusion: Quality vaccine prophylaxis and control of population immunity state among children population play an important role in the maintenance of Russian Federation status as a country is free from poliomyelitis.

School of Public Health, Medical Research Council Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Between 2016 and 2023, 3248 cases of circulating vaccine-derived type 2 poliomyelitis (cVDPV2) were reported globally and supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) with monovalent type 2 oral poliovirus vaccine (mOPV2) and novel type 2 oral poliovirus vaccine (nOPV2) targeted an estimated 356 and 525 million children, respectively. This analysis estimates the community-level impact of nOPV2 relative to mOPV2 SIAs.
Methods: We fitted interrupted time-series regressions to surveillance data between January 2016 and November 2023 to estimate the impact of nOPV2 and mOPV2 SIAs on cVDPV2 poliomyelitis incidence and prevalence in environmental surveillance across 37 countries, directly comparing the impact of SIAs in 13 countries where both vaccines were used.

Tracking acute flaccid paralysis in Niger: a half-decade epidemiological portrait (2016-2021).
BMC Infect Dis
January 2025
Bureau de L'Organisation Mondiale de La Santé (OMS), Niamey, Niger.
Background: Recently, a total of 74 circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) outbreaks were detected in 39 countries, with 672 confirmed Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) cases identified in 27 countries. Despite progress, Niger experienced cVDPV outbreaks in 2018, highlighting the importance of maintaining AFP surveillance as a tool for polio eradication. This analysis aims to comprehensively assess AFP surveillance trends, patterns, and challenges in Niger, offering insights for public health initiatives in conflict-affected contexts.

Objective: To analyse vaccination coverage and factors associated with incomplete polio vaccination in a cohort of children born in 2017-2018, in state capitals and interior region municipalities of Northeast Brazil.
Methods: Household survey of children aged ≤24 months conducted between 2020 and 2022. Vaccination coverage and dropout rates were estimated, as well as factors associated with incomplete vaccination, analyzed by calculating odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).
