Abstract

The global eradication of poliomyelitis will require substantial changes in immunization practices. One of the proposed scenarios includes cessation of vaccination with live oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) and the creation of an OPV stockpile for emergency response in case of the reintroduction of poliovirus into circulation. We describe here a retrospective analysis of the cessation of OPV usage in a region of the Byelorussian Republic of the former Soviet Union in 1963 to 1966. During this period, a widespread circulation and evolution of independent lineages of vaccine-derived polioviruses took place in the region. Some of these lineages appeared to originate from OPV given to 40 children in the community during this period of essentially no vaccinations. The data demonstrate very high risks associated with both the local cessation of OPV vaccination and the proposed use of OPV to control a possible reemergence of poliovirus in the postvaccination period. The high transmissibility of OPV-derived viruses in nonimmune population, documented here, and the known existence of long-term OPV excretors should be also considered in assessing risks of the synchronized global cessation of OPV usage.

  • In 1968, a large poliomyelitis outbreak (464 cases) in Poland immediately followed a field trial of the experimental type 3 oral poliovaccine strain, USOL-D-bac.

    “In 1968, a large poliomyelitis outbreak (464 cases) in Poland immediately followed a field trial of the experimental type 3 oral poliovaccine strain, USOL-D-bac (101).”
  • The combined epidemiologic and virologic findings show that derivatives of the USOL-D-bac vaccine strain had spread extensively by person-to-person transmission for ~13 months.

    “however, the combined epidemiologic (101) and virologic (118) findings show that derivatives of the USOL-D-bac vaccine strain had spread extensively by person-to-person transmission for ∼ 13months.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
