1 2016 Issue No Week 27 (as of 4 July 2016) HIGHLIGHTS The role of data in helping to fight eradicate polio At the heart of the work of the GPEI lie two essential tasks: finding the virus (surveillance) and protecting children against it (immunization). Data is the lifeblood of both, supporting those on the frontline and behind the scenes to do the best job they can. When the virus is isolated, more data is used to assess the numbers of vulnerable children in the affected area to help calculate the amount of vaccines needed to respond. This information is translated into action for vaccinating door to door, to protect every child and interrupt the transmission. In countries with endemic transmission and circulating vaccinederived, data is playing a vital role in defining actions. The programme and the response activities is shifting focus from the number of children reached with vaccines to the number of children missed and left unprotected. Since the end of 2014, almost half a million children who were previously missed have now been protected against polio, partially contributed by this enhanced attention on the most vulnerable. With the success of the unprecedented switch from trivalent to bivalent oral polio vaccine in 155 countries and areas, the world saw evidence of the crucial role played by data. From each and every healthcare center from cities to the most remote rural locations, data was fed up to districts, then countries, regions and finally to the global level to confirm that every vial of the trivalent vaccine had been destroyed and replaced with the bivalent vaccine. Eradicating polio will be one of the greatest achievements in human history, making a positive impact on human health for generations to come. The role of data will be the final one, confirming no single case of virus for three years with good surveillance system in place, enabling us to declare polio finished, once and for all. A video from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has celebrated the role data and information play in the everyday work done by the partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, countries, donors, vaccinators and surveillance officers in their tireless fight against the.
