Structured PICO

Does annual mass vaccination with oral poliovirus vaccine eliminate paralytic poliomyelitis in economically undeveloped regions?

Population

Populations in temperate-climate, subtropical, and tropical regions, specifically focusing on children younger than three, four, or five years of age in economically undeveloped regions

Intervention

Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) administered via annual mass vaccinations for all children younger than 3, 4, or 5 years of age within one or two days

Outcome

Elimination of paralytic poliomyelitis / incidence of poliomyelitishard clinical

Annual mass vaccination campaigns with OPV over 1-2 days are highly effective at breaking the transmission chain of virulent polioviruses in developing regions.
