Polio Vaccine May Stall The End Of Polio

As the global effort to eradicate polio gets tantalizing close to its goal, the program is running in to new challenges.
One of the biggest obstacles this year is the proliferation of so-called "vaccine-derived" polio outbreaks.
Conventional polio caused by the traditional form of the disease is now only occurring in two countries in the world — Afghanistan and Pakistan. The World Health Organization calls this form "wild" polio and there've been roughly 100 cases so far this year. This is a tiny number compared to the 350,000 cases that occurred globally before the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched in 1988.
But what's troubling now is that there are currently more kids being paralyzed by cases of vaccine-derived polio than by the original "wild" variety.
"We have seen a lot more countries impacted this year than last year," says Dr. John Vertefeuille, the head of polio eradication at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
There've been outbreaks this year in the Philippines, China, Myanmar, Pakistan and a half a dozen African countries.
"Because of the rising number of individual outbreaks," Vertefeuille says. "The CDC has taken a decision to do a surge staffing effort focusing on Africa."
