Abstract:
Never before has the world community were not so close to the goal - poliomyelitis eradication. In 2016, the world recorded only 37 cases in the three endemic countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. Despite the great progress in the final stages of poliomyelitis eradication have problems: the emergence and circulation of vaccine-derived poliovirus and related diseases, vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis, social and political factors affecting of vaccination.

Abstract:
Poliomyelitis commonly called polio is a highly infectious disease caused by three sero types of polio virus 1, 2 and 3, which attacks the nervous system. The virus is transmitted mostly through feco-oral route, less often it is transmitted through polluted food or water. Since there is no treatment or cure to poliomyelitis, this disease can be prevented only. The World Health Assembly in 1988 set the target to eradicate polio globally by the year 2000 through multiple doses of childhood vaccinations that protect a child for whole life.

Abstract:
By the 1950s, poliomyelitis (polio) was a major public health and medical issue as it became one of the most communicable diseases for children in the United States and globally. Following the widespread use of vaccinations in the 1950s, and an increased global effort in the late 1980s, cases of polio reduced exponentially in countries that were able to enroll widespread vaccination to their citizens. The elementary pathogenic process includes central nervous system (CNS) involvement which may lead to paralysis in extreme rare circumstances. Through mass-vaccination campaigns and global efforts led by the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the number of new cases has remained minimal in most of the developed world except in three countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria. There are multiple reasons why this disease continues to spread in these countries including vaccine-derived disease associated with mutations, geographical logistics, and the presence of anti-vaccine terrorist groups. While this review aims to explore the history, pathogenesis, and epidemiology of polio, a focus will also be placed on why the disease is still prevalent in Pakistan and novel methods that can be taken to ensure that polio is eradicated in the country. The goal should be for poliomyelitis to join the ranks of smallpox and rinderpest, the only two diseases that have ever been completely eradicated through the use of vaccinations and global cooperation.

Abstract:
These are diseases in which an effective preventive vaccine exists. A death that could have been prevented by vaccination is a vaccine- preventable death. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified twenty-five diseases as vaccine preventable. This list may expand as new vaccines are being developed. The Expanded Programme on Immunization, or EPI, is vaccination programme introduced in 1974 by the WHO to all nations. The EPI initially targeted diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles, poliomyelitis, and tuberculosis. The aim was to provide universal immunization for all children by 1990 and to achieve health for all by 2000. In 2010, about 85% of children under one year of age in the world had received at least three doses of DTP vaccine (diphtheria, tetanus, and polio). Additional vaccines have now been added to the original six targets. Most countries have now added Hepatitis B (not in UK) and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) to their routine infant immunization schedules, and an increasing number are in the process of adding pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and rotavirus vaccines to their schedules. Immunization is a proven tool for controlling and even eradicating infectious diseases. The immunization campaign against smallpox between 1967 and 1977 resulted in the eradication of smallpox. Apart from smallpox, the only other viral infection that was declared eradicated through vaccination campaign was rinderpest in cattle (2011), a close relative of measles virus in humans. Another major infection target for global eradication is against poliomyelitis—the global polio eradication initiative (GPEI). When the programme began in 1988, polio threatened 60% of the world’s population. Eradication of poliomyelitis is now within reach: infections have fallen by 99%; wild type polio type 2 was last detected in 1999 and declared eradicated in 2015; wild-type poliovirus type 3 has not been detected in the world since 2012. Poliovirus type 1 is the only wild- type virus in circulation and endemic transmission is only reported in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Currently, the old trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine is replaced by the more potent bivalent poliovirus type 1 and 3 vaccine. Many western countries have switched from oral vaccine to the injected inactivated vaccine to avoid the problem of vaccine- induced paralysis, which could be associated with the oral live attenuated vaccine.

Abstract:
Poliomyelitis (polio) remains a vital global public health challenge, particularly in countries where eradication efforts are ongoing. For almost three decades, polio programme and frontline workers in Pakistan have suffered human and financial losses due to complex political and bureaucratic management, local resistance to programme efforts, and the context of cross-border insurgency and insecurity.1 Many stakeholders in Pakistan continue to have low confidence in frontline workers and polio vaccination campaigns. In this environment, it is essential that vaccination programmes localise – by taking careful account of the local context, improving local ownership of the programmes, understanding and mitigating the issues at a grassroots level, and tailoring efforts to achieve polio eradication goals. This brief draws on evidence from academic and grey literature, data on polio vaccine uptake, consultations with partners working on polio eradication in Pakistan, and the authors’ own programme implementation experience in the country. The brief reviews the social, cultural, and contextual considerations relevant to increasing polio vaccine uptake amongst vulnerable groups in Pakistan’s tribal areas. It focuses on the current country context, in the aftermath of the 2018 merger of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (KPK). This brief is part of a series authored by participants from the SSHAP Fellowship, and was written by Luqman Hakeem and Riaz Hussain from Cohort 2. Contributions were provided by response partners in Pakistan including health communication and delivery staff and local administrative authorities. This brief was reviewed by Muhammad Sufyan (University of Swabi) and Ilyas Sharif (Quaid-e-Azam College of Commerce, University of Peshawar). The brief was supported by Megan Schmidt-Sane and Santiago Ripoll at the Institute of Development Studies and is the responsibility of SSHAP.
