Abstract: ABSTRACT Objectives As efforts to control COVID-19 continue, we simulate hypothetical emergence of wild poliovirus assuming an immunologically naïve population. This differs from the current global experience with polio and serves as a model for… read more here.

Abstract: Objective To explore the extent to which undervaccinated subpopulations may influence the confidence about no circulation of wild poliovirus (WPV) after the last detected case. Design and participants We used a hypothetical model to examine… read more here.
