Polio Plus

The latest figures reflecting the status of polio in the world are disappointing. Globally there has been 28 cases of WPV (wild polio virus) and 98 cases of cVDPV

(circulating vaccine derived polio virus) reported as of December 4th. This time

last year there were 16 cases of WPV and 80 cases of cVDPV. To address this, the 19th IHR (International Health Regulations) Emergency

Committee including members, advisers, and invited member states convened to discuss

the status of the international spread of poliovirus. The Committee unanimously

agreed that the risk of polio spread continues to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) and proposed an extension of Temporary Recommenda-tions for an additional three months. The Committee expressed concern that complacency to achieving a polio-free world could now become the biggest risk to the effort and

urged that all countries and partners regard polio eradication as an emergency. “We

have the tools, we need to focus on what works, we need to get to every child,” commented Prof. Helen Rees, Chairperson of the Committee. “The reality is that there is no reason why we should not be able to finish this job, but we have to keep

at it.” Prof. Rees and the Committee urged countries, donors and partners to

continue their support, until a polio-free world is achieved, cautioning that failure to eradicate polio would lead to global resurgence of the disease, with

potentially as many as 200,000 new cases occurring annually within ten years. “We

have achieved eradication of a disease once before, with smallpox,” Rees concluded. “The world is a much better place without smallpox. It’s now more urgent than ever that we redouble our efforts and finish this job once and for all as well.”

Despite an increase in cases, Rotary International continues to make progress in

countries where polio is a threat to children. – It is using innovative techniques

to reach more children than ever before in some of the hardest-to-reach areas of the

world, and its surveillance systems are continually becoming more sophisticated. - As the organization that first had the vision of a world without polio, it can take

pride in its work and commitment thus far. It will continue to persevere until the

day it fulfills its promise of a polio-free world.”

Chris Connolly

Foundation Chair Thank you for your continued and dedicated support.

No new Wild Polio cases reported this week. The battle toward Global Polio Eradication Marches On.

Zero is the Magic Number! The three year Countdown to History starts after the final Wild Polio case. Today, we count One week since the report of the most recent Wild Polio case.

Rotary is committed to raise $50 Million (including Rotarian, public, and DDF donations) to be matched by $100 mil from the Gates Foundation - for each of the next two years - for a total of

$300 million for the Global Polio Eradication effort.
