And, finally, a weekly update on the
war on polio......
WILD POLIO VIRUS, TYPE 1 - Once again, no new cases of the wild
NINETY - The number of days since the last case of WPV1 occurred in Afghanistan.
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE – The number of days since the last case of WPV1 occurred in Malawi.
ONE YEAR AND 76 DAYS - The number of days since the last case of WPV1
occurred in Pakistan.
ONE - The total number of cases of WPV1 that has occurred in 2022 year-to-
date (In Afghanistan on January 14th).
SIX - The total number of cases of WPV1 that occurred in 2021 (1 in Pakistan, 1 in Malawi and 4 in Afghanistan).
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY - The total number of cases of WPV1 that occurred in 2020.
And yes, once again, there were no new cases of wild Positive Environmental Samples (ES) reported as well. So the total count of wild ES for 2022 remains at zero, and for the year 2021 remains at 66 (65 in Pakistan and 1 in Afghanistan), with the last ES discovered in Pakistan on December 6th.
CIRCULATING VACCINE-DERIVED POLIO - Our other battlefront in the war on polio, the circulating Vaccine-Derived Polio (cVDPV) reported only 1 case this last week that occurred in Nigeria. This means the 2022 count is now 34, compared to 195 last year at this time.
There were 8 Positive Environmental samples (ES) of the vaccine-derived polio reported this last week, 4 in Nigeria and 4 in Israel (Jerusalem).
A REMINDER TO REGISTER HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE FINANCIALAND POLITICALSUPPORT NEEDED TO END POLIO FOR GOOD. On April 26th, the GPEI will launch the investment case for their new strategy: DELIVERING ON A PROMISE. This one-hour virtual event, entitled “Investing in the Promise of a Polio-free World”, will feature live remarks from WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell, as well as the stories of health workers and Ministers of Health working with the polio program around the world. If you care about eliminating polio, as I’m sure you all do, you’ll want to attend this Zoom meeting.
WITH WILD POLIO AT LOWEST LEVELS IN HISTORY - SAGE (The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts), the global advisory body to WHO (The World Health Organization) on all things immunization, at a meeting in Geneva earlier this month, urged concerted action to finish wild polioviruses once and for all. With wild polio at lowest levels in history, SAGE is also turning its focus on post-eradication strategies. To learn more about this exciting story, click here.
