Poliovirus-neutralizing antibody seroprevalence remains critically low among young children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, sustaining circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks.
Protective neutralizing titers were present in only 41.1% of children for type 2 poliovirus across the surveyed cohort, reflecting widespread under-immunization in vulnerable populations.
A cross-sectional population-based survey reveals that supplementary immunization activities boosted serotype 2 seroreactivity, yet community immunity continues on a marked downward trend.
