Immunogenicity and safety of adsorbed diphtheria-purified pertussis-tetanus-inactivated polio (Sabin strain)-Haemophilus type b conjugate combined vaccine (DPT-IPV-Hib) in healthy Japanese Infants  ≥ 2 and  & lt;  43 months of Age: A phase III, multicenter, active controlled, assessor-blinded, randomized, parallel-group study
CONCLUSION: A single-agent Gobik, the first DPT-IPV-Hib pentavalent vaccine approved in Japan, was confirmed to simultaneously provide primary and booster immunizations against Hib infection, pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, and poliomyelitis and to have a preventive effect and safety comparable to concomitant vaccination with Hib (ActHIB®) and DPT-IPV quadrivalent vaccine (Tetrabik).PMID:38582691 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.03.077 (Source: Vaccine)

Surveillance To Track Progress Toward Polio Eradication - Worldwide, 2022-2023
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2024 Apr 4;73(13):278-285. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7313a1.ABSTRACTThe reliable and timely detection of poliovirus cases through surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), supplemented by environmental surveillance of sewage samples, is a critical component of the polio eradication program. Since 1988, the number of polio cases caused by wild poliovirus (WPV) has declined by >99.9%, and eradication of WPV serotypes 2 and 3 has been certified; only serotype 1 (WPV1) continues to circulate, and transmission remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Maintaining the Region of the Americas free of polio: best practices for incident management support teams
Rev Panam Salud Publica. 2024 Apr 1;48:e23. doi: 10.26633/RPSP.2024.23. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and its Member States have been leading the efforts to eradicate wild poliovirus in the Region of Americas since smallpox's successful elimination in 1971. The region became the first to be certified free of wild poliovirus in 1994. However, in July 2022, an unvaccinated patient with no recent travel history was diagnosed with poliomyelitis in the United States of America. In response to the emergence of a circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus in the United States, PAHO established t...
