1 2013 Issue No Week 50 (as of 17 December 2013) HIGHLIGHTS China moving forward in Polio End Game Strategy Plan Today, 17 December 2013, China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) has conveyed an international workshop on scientific review of sipv vaccine developed in China. This meeting is gathering key participants from relevant departments of CFDA, National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC), representatives from National Technical Advisory Group, Chinese manufacturers, World Health Organization representatives from all levels of the Organization, US CDC, as well as external regulatory experts from other countries. China had initiated the development of sipv vaccine several decades ago anticipating the global eradication era. China has its last endemic wild poliovirus (WPV) case in 1994 and was declared Polio-free as part of the Western Pacific Region in Since 1994, China has experimented on four importations, the largest and latest in 2011, a WPV type 1 importation that resulted in an outbreak that the Government successfully controlled within 3 months, reaching the lowest time ever recorded in polio history. This was possible because of a very efficient and coordinated multi-sectoral approach. Following the latest 66th World Health Assembly held in 2013, the Polio Eradication End Game Strategy Plan for was endorsed. As a result, China NHFPC and CFDA representatives have intensified their efforts to discuss with a larger audience their perspectives in upcoming IPV vaccine introduction within their routine programme. This discussion is timely and crucial in the national, regional and current global context of the vaccine switch noting that China is the most populated country in the world.
