The Global Polio Eradication Initiative
• 1980: WHA declared smallpox eradicated
• 1988: WHA resolved to eradicate polio• Eradication strategy is targeted mass
OPV immunization with intense virus surveillance
• Polio eradication is the largest global public health initiative ever undertaken

Global eradication of all 3 poliovirus types anticipated
by 2005
![Page 10: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Laboratory Containment The other half of poliomyelitis eradication
Certification of Poliomyelitis eradication requires:
Finding and controlling wild
poliovirus in human populations
+
Finding and controlling wild
poliovirus in laboratories
![Page 11: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Wild poliovirus may be reintroduced from the laboratory:
• In theory, by contaminated clothing, liquid effluents, air exhaust, or improper virus disposal
• In fact, by an infected laboratory worker, who may go unrecognized
![Page 12: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Containment
Essential laboratory facilities and biosafety practices to minimize the risks of infection to the worker and the community.

Containment
• Con: Polio will never be eradicated• Pro: Progress thus far indicates polio can
be eradicated
• Con: If polio is eradicated, the risk of reintroducing polio from lab is either small or large
• Pro: Risk of reintroducing polio from the lab grows with time after eradication
![Page 14: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Containment
• Con: Immunization will never stop• Pro: OPV (live) immunization at some
point must stop
• Con: Absolute containment can never be ensured
• Pro: Effective containment can be achieved
![Page 15: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Poliovirus and smallpox virus containment strategies differ
• Poliovirus task is much larger in numbers of labs and types of infectious materials
• For smallpox, focus was on destruction and global consolidation
• For polio, focus is on destruction and appropriate laboratory containment
![Page 16: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHO Global Action Plan: 3 steps to containment
• Pre eradication: Laboratory survey/clean up and inventory
• Post eradication: Implement required laboratory biosafety levels
• Post immunization: Maximum containment strategy depends on immunization strategy
![Page 17: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
All post eradication immunization scenarios assume:
• global surveillance
• adequate vaccine stockpiles
• emergency response plans
![Page 18: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Purpose of the survey
• Alert labs to impending eradication
• Encourage disposition of unneeded wild poliovirus materials
• Establish a National Inventory of laboratories retaining such materials
![Page 19: Inter-Departmental Working Group 03-07-02 Polio eradication progress Poliovirus laboratory containment Roles Working Group](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6a5503460f94b68313/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Purpose of the National Inventory
• Maintain a current list of laboratories with wild polioviruses
• Keep laboratories informed of biosafety developments
• Notify laboratories when polio has been eradicated and need to implement containment requirements

Phase I: Lessons Learned
• Cooperation good in all sectors
• Customized survey instruments/materials work best
• Greatest challenge is identifying effective communication channels
