The persistence of polio in northern Nigeria requires exploration beyond the chemical properties of the oral poliovirus vaccine.
1present compelling evidence that lends support to the suggestion that the effi cacy of the oral poliovirus vaccine varies depending on its composition, thus reinforcing similar findings reported by Jenkins and colleagues in 2008. 2 However, the persistence of polio in the northern states of Nigeria cannot be adequately explained by the chemical properties of the vaccine and therefore warrants fur ther exploration. The global response to poliovirus has been shaped largely by the so-called smallpox paradigm: the assertion that disease eradication can be achieved with the successful application of efficacious medical technologies and targeted pharmacological interventions. 3
