Description:The U.S. National Authority for Containment of Poliovirus (NAC), located in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Preparedness and Response, appreciates your participation in this survey. For most participants, the survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete, although this time will vary depending on your awareness of your inventory and the availability of needed information. It is designed to collect relevant laboratory inventory data to ensure compliance with requirements established in the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan (GAPIII), as adapted for the WHO Region of the Americas. Per GAPIII, each country is required to complete a national inventory of poliovirus-containing materials.
This survey focuses on institutions that may have poliovirus potentially infectious materials (PIM). While you may not work with poliovirus, the virus may be present in clinical and environmental materials collected from areas where polio was endemic, or at a time when the live virus vaccine was in use, whether collected for purposes directly related to polio or not. Researchers may be unaware that such materials may harbor poliovirus. The survey questions are designed to help you to determine if your materials are potentially infectious.
The information collected in the survey will be used to determine if a facility must register as a Poliovirus-Essential Facility (PEF) following the WHO Containment Certification Scheme (CCS). The information collected is confidential and only reported in aggregate to the WHO.
This document provides a brief overview of the survey.
