Abstract

The article describes the association of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) detection with a novel type 2 oral poliovirus vaccine (nOPV2) administered during March 2021 to September 7, 2023 in six African countries. Topics include a review of polio surveillance and laboratory data collected through the Global Polio Eradication Initiative and the detection of cVDPV2 emergences derived from nOPV2 use in countries in which they originated such as Central African Republic.
