The Immune Response to Polio Virus After Natural Infection and Immunization with Oral Polio Vaccine: A Panoramic View of the Issues and Problems

I was interested to read the paper on trivalent oral polio virus vaccine trials by Hardy and colleagues in your journal of March 1970,1 which reached here only recently. It prompts me to state the results we have achieved in the babies attending the Well Baby Clinic, who received three doses of trivalent oral polio vaccine at 4 to 6 weeks interval beginning at 3 to 6 months of age.2 Our results are disappointing and compare with the results achieved in some other tropical countries, particularly Nigeria.

Israel was certified as polio-free country in June 2002, along with the rest of the World Health Organization European Region. Some 11 years later, wild-type polio virus 1 (WPV1) was isolated initially from routine sewage samples collected between 7 and 13 April 2013 in two cities in the Southern district. WPV1-specific analysis of samples indicated WPV1 introduction into that area in early February 2013. National supplementary immunisation with oral polio vaccine has been ongoing since August 2013.
