MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 1999 Jun 25;48(24):513-8.
In 1988, the World Health Assembly resolved to eradicate poliomyelitis globally by 2000. To achieve this goal, the African Region (AFRO) of the World Health Organization (WHO) has accelerated polio eradication strategies, but the region remains one of the two major reservoirs for wild poliovirus transmission. This report summarizes progress toward polio eradication from 1998 through April 1999 in AFRO, highlights supplementary vaccination activities (National Immunization Days [NIDs]) and acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance conducted in the region, and describes plans for program acceleration (intensified NIDs and mopping-up vaccinations) to meet the 2000 eradication target.
1988年,世界卫生大会决定到2000年在全球根除脊髓灰质炎。为实现这一目标,世界卫生组织(WHO)非洲区域(AFRO)加快了脊髓灰质炎根除战略,但该区域仍是野生脊髓灰质炎病毒传播的两个主要疫源地之一。本报告总结了1998年至1999年4月非洲区域在根除脊髓灰质炎方面取得的进展,重点介绍了该区域开展的补充免疫活动(国家免疫日[NIDs])和急性弛缓性麻痹(AFP)监测,并描述了为实现2000年根除目标而加快计划实施(强化国家免疫日和扫荡式疫苗接种)的情况。
