Post-Certification Strategy Goals Purpose: Define how a polio-free world will be sustained Goal 1: Contain Polio Sources Ensure potential sources of poliovirus are properly controlled or removed Goal 2: Protect Populations Immunize populations against unanticipated polio events Goal 3: Detect and Respond Detect any poliovirus introduction and rapidly respond to prevent transmission Goal 4: Manage Effectively and Monitor Ensure ongoing polio functions are embedded in existing or develop new approaches to sustain the goals of polio post-certification 26

Global Polio Eradication is the largest effort outside of armed conflict in the world. With 20 million volunteers, health workers, lab techs, vaccinators, mobilizers dedicated to the common goal of preventing childhood paralysis. 13 Million Cases of Paralysis Prevented
