1 Development of the Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic plan SAGE Meeting 6 November 2012

2 Overview Process, Consultations, Development Eradication and Endgame Outcomes and Activities Legacy Planning Next Steps Further development and finalization

3 Overview

4 World Health Assembly "DECLARES polio eradication an emergency for global public health requests DG to rapidly finalize a comprehensive polio endgame plan, with topv-bopv switch". 25 May 2012

5 Statement of Intent To complete the eradication & containment of all wild, vaccine-related and Sabin polioviruses, such that no child ever again suffers polio.

6 Ongoing consultations Endemic Countries Partners The GPEI Spearheading Partners WHO Regional Technical Consultations Broader Partnership Review and input from polio advisory bodies Regional Advisory Groups IMB (29-31 October) SAGE (6-8 November) WHO Executive Board January 2013

7 Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan

8 Eradication and Endgame Strategy & Legacy Overview Based on best available data, polio eradication can be certified by 2018 Last wild polio case WPV certification Eradication Implement Emergency Action Plans Endgame Address pre-requisites; Build RI; Introduce IPV; topv-bopv switch; develop legacy plan Legacy Mainstream functions; transition key staff, infrastructure & systems Budget Core costs increase ~10% until last wild polio case, begin decline through 2018, and then drop significantly 8

9 Objectives and Milestones OBJECTIVES MILESTONES INTERRUPT WPV TRANSMISSION END-2014 LAST WPV CASE OPV2 WITHDRAWAL 2015/2016 topv-bopv Switch CONTAINMENT OF ALL WILD AND SABIN TYPE 2 VIRUSES GLOBAL CERTIFICATION LEGACY INITIATE PROCESS AND CONSULTATIONS

10 Objective 1: Interrupt Transmission Outcomes: Endemic Countries: Raise and maintain population immunity to stop transmission High-Risk Countries: Raise immunity to prevent outbreaks Key Activities: Intensive Schedule of SIAs Targeted SIA quality improvements Outbreak Response Strengthen Surveillance

11 SIA Plans for More campaigns Fewer campaigns WHO OPV CAMPAIGN DATA ENDEMIC COUNTRIES Afghanistan Pakistan Nigeria India COUNTRIES WITH RE-ESTABLISHED TRANSMISSION Chad DR Congo Angola Sudan S. Sudan COUNTRIES WITH RECURRENT IMPORTATIONS West Africa Niger Guinea Cote d'ivoire Mali Liberia Burkina Faso Sierra Leone Benin Mauritania Ghana Senegal Gambia Guinea Bissau Togo Cape Verde Horn of Africa Kenya Yemen Somalia Uganda Ethiopia Djibouti Eritrea Central Africa CAR Congo Cameroon Gabon Burundi Rwanda Zimbabwe Planned SIAs SIA plans as per the FRR and based upon UNICEF and WHO long-term projections. Complementary SIAs Additional activities (not shown in this calendar) concentrated in in endemic and high-risk countries. OTHER IMPORTATION-AFFECTED COUNTRIES Southeast Asia Nepal Bangladesh Myanmar Europe Tajikistan Uzbekistan Georgia Kyrgyzstan

12

13 Endemic Countries: Specific Plans To Improve Coverage Leadership: Oversight: Microplanning: Vaccine teams: Surge: Social Mob: for whole of gov't/society approach for program/partner performance for missed children to institutionalize best practices for worst-performing areas for community demand

14 Marked Step-up in Outbreak Response Minimum 5 rounds Increase in number Short interval (1 st 2 rounds) Increase age group (1 st 2 rounds) Joint National/International Assessments at 3 & 6 months

15 Objective 2: Sabin 2 Cessation Outcome: For all OPV-using countries Replacement of topv with bopv Key Activities Strengthen routine immunization Stop cvdpv2 outbreaks Introduce at least one dose of IPV into routine immunization topv-bopv switch Optimize surveillance for Sabin 2 viruses (including environmental)

16 Increasing Routine Coverage Based on GVAP Objectives In particular objectives 2, 3, and 4 Two-Pronged Approach Cross-Cutting: (1) Increase community demand and acceptance; (2) enhance monitoring, surveillance and data quality/use Key Geographies: direct technical support in microplanning and monitoring, including new strategies to tackle inequities

17 IPV Introduction (pending SAGE decisions) Number of IPV doses ('at least 1') Target date of introduction ( ) Proposed duration of use (at least 5 years after bopv cessation through 2024/5) Strategy for early introduction: Volume purchasing of whole dose, Intradermal and adjuvanted IM Risk Mitigation in High-Risk Areas

18 Geographic Scope of Work 130 OPV using countries

19 Optimizing Surveillance Targeted environmental surveillance (15-20 additional countries, to document type 2 disappearance): topv national producers cvdpv emergent areas (e.g. MOG; MAD) AFP surveillance strengthening: particular emphasis on certified regions for 2015 'switch'.

20 Objective 3: Global Containment and Certification Outcome: For all countries Certification of interruption of WPV transmission, and containment of all residual WPVs Key Activities Close surveillance gaps Reach international consensus on biocontainment requirements Implement certification processes

21 Non-polio AFP Rate Sep 2011 Aug 2012 Adequate Stool Collection Rate Sep 2011 Aug 2012

22 Status of Implementation of Phase I containment (national survey and inventory) EUR: PHASE I COMPLETE WPR: PHASE I COMPLETE PAHO: PHASE I COMPLETE Polio endemic Polio reestablished Reporting completion of survey & inventory

23 Certification and Containment Certification: GCC will consider 'concluding' type 2 eradication based on 10+ years & surveillance; requires near-term reconstitution of RCCs and GCC. Containment: secondary safeguards for Sabin-IPV are to be aligned with SAGE 'at least 1 dose' policy recommendation.

24 TIMELINE FOR MAJOR OBJECTIVES Last wild polio case WPV Phase 2 containment WPV certification Years Wild Virus Eradication Wild virus eradication Containment & Certification Post-OPV surveillance Sabin Virus Elimination Pre-requisites for OPV2 cessation Sabin 2 elimination & validation 1-dose IPV introduction Sabin 2 cessation Sabin 1 & 3 cessation

25 Major Challenges Interrupting wild virus (WPV) stopping endemic transmission preventing new national/int'l spread Globally synchronizing OPV2 cessation bopv & 'affordable' IPV supply logistics, communications, programmatic work WPV certification, VDPV verification, containment surveillance gaps in infected & certified areas consensus on post-opv2 outbreak management managing transition to full biocontainment
