WHAT’S NEW THIS WEEKEND ON WWW.CHILDSURVIVAL.NET: POLIO, POLIO, POLIO
For readers not familiar with it, the webpage of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, www.polioeradication.org, is a delight. The databases, updated weekly, provide wild poliovirus case counts from the four endemic countries (Nigeria,Afghanistan, Pakistan and India) and the polio reintroduction countries. The webpage also gives, for most countries doing polio campaigns, the independent monitoring data gathered during those campaigns, which give an idea of the proportion of <5 children not having finger markings after the most recent polio campaigns. Soon: caregivers‘ sources of information on the campaigns, an invaluable database for those planning social mobilization/behavior change internventions.
Since 2011, the webpage has also carried reports in English (soon, in French) of the Independent Monitoring Board recently created to give the partners advice on how best to accelerate the move towards global eradication.
At its most recent meeting, the IMB asked the question why joint use of OPV and IPV is still ‘floating in the ether‘ after decades of discussion.
This weekend, one RFP for proposals on social science research on polio eradication and several items on combined used of OPV and IPV in developing countries.
