Abstract

The review presents data on the current stature of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative of the WHO. The success of its implementation mainly depends on the solutions of the problems associated with continuing use of trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV): vaccine- associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) and vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV). The information about the polio immunization strategy proposed by WHO in «Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013 - 2018» is presented.
