Pakistan 2020-total 84 2021 - YTD 1 Jan 27th will be one year of no Polio in Pakistan!
Afghanistan 2020-total 56 2021 - YTD 4 (40% of the 5 cases of Polio were from one family)
The final 2021 totals may not be known until February 2022 but the numbers of WPV1 and cVDPV2 cases have been reduced in both the endemic countries and the numbers are accurate. Nigeria has had a high incidence of cVDPV2 cases.
Positive ES samples are important but only to direct where responses are required.
