Description:In 2016, fewer children were paralysed by polio than in any other year in history, and the world moved closer still to eradicating polio. Circulating in a few areas of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria, wild poliovirus (WPV) is more geographically constrained than ever before. Every country using trivalent oral polio vaccine (tOPV) switched to bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV) thanks to the eradication of wild poliovirus type 2 (WPV2), which had been certified in September 2015. This progress continues to be made possible by the over 20 million volunteers and front-line staff who vaccinate over 400 million children worldwide each year as part of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI).
