Description:The world is working to end polio. We help reduce the risk of eradicated polioviruses getting out from the places where they are worked with or stored.
CDC has a long history in the worldwide fight against poliovirus. On December 2, 2011, the agency declared polio eradication a public health emergency. It activated an incident management system to coordinate the response. Since then, over 760 staff have contributed over 970,000 hours and almost 3,000 field deployments in support of this mission.
CDC assists with outbreak response, laboratory testing, disease surveillance, vaccination campaign planning, program monitoring and evaluation, and research. The agency supports global containment efforts with expertise in oversight, monitoring of biosafety, and security in laboratories.
