In The News:
 
Three of the four remaining Polio Endemic PAIN countries (Afghanistan, India & Nigeria) reported no Polio cases this week while Pakistan reported two cases.
The Democratic Republic of Congo reported it's first Polio case in more than a year.  The case was near their border with Angola and is thought to be related to an outbreak there.
Tajikistan now accounts for over 3/4 of the Polio cases worldwide this year.  The outbreak seems to have peaked but more cases will be reported which are still pending conclusive lab tests.

 

 

 

Did You Know?  The Type 1 Poliovirus causes permanent paralysis in about 1 per 200 infected and Type 3 only 1 per 1,000 infected.

  • Tajikistan now accounts for over 70% of all global cases of polio. All cases have been covered by four rounds of National Immunization Days (NIDs) with reported high coverage.
