Key result

Between January and July 2015, Nigeria reported zero cases of wild poliovirus (compared to 6 in 2014) and only one case of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (compared to 20 in 2014).

Population

Implication

Marks progress toward polio eradication in Nigeria; leaves open durability of gains and need for ongoing surveillance.

Structured PICO

Population

Public health report detailing the progress of the national polio eradication emergency plan in Nigeria between January 2014 and July 2015.

Comparator

Non-contact lens wearers (n=3,528) compared to contact lens wearers (n=709) for demographic analysis.

Outcome

Estimated number of contact lens wearers in the United States and prevalence of contact lens hygiene-related risk behaviors.

Nearly all adult contact lens wearers report at least one hygiene risk behavior, highlighting the need for targeted prevention messages to reduce the risk of serious eye infections.

Limitations

Sustaining political support and program funding in the absence of active WPV transmission
Maintaining high levels of population immunity in hard-to-reach areas
Accessing children in security-compromised areas of the northeastern states
The estimated number of contact lens wearers does not include those aged <18 years, who might be most at risk for complications.
The Contact Lens Risk Survey used a convenience sample where respondents were more likely to be older and female, which might have underestimated the prevalence of contact lens risk behaviors.
