Description:The U.S. NAC Interim Guidance for U.S. Laboratory Facilities to Store and Work with Poliovirus Potentially Infectious Materials applies to all U.S. laboratory facilities possessing WPV/VDPV and OPV PIM. Please note that WHO classifies VDPV with WPV, as described in the WPV definition above. This U.S. NAC guidance document describes biosafety, security, and other measures to store and handle PV PIM in a safe and secure manner by mitigating the risks PV poses to personnel, the environment, and the global eradication of poliovirus. While not all PV PIM will contain PV, the WHO considers the probability that such material could contain PV to be a significant risk to the environment and community, if not contained properly.
The measures described herein are stratified based on the risks associated with each PIM type, based on the WHO Guidance to minimize risks for facilities collecting, handling, or storing materials potentially infectious for polioviruses (WHO PIM Guidance). Any U.S. facility in possession of PIM may adopt additional biosafety and security measures over and above the measures described in this, or other applicable U.S. NAC and WHO documents, to ensure PV PIM safety and security.
