Preventing Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Emergence during the Polio Endgame
PLOS Pathogens, 2016 Reversion and spread of vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) to cause outbreaks of poliomyelitis is a rare outcome resulting from immunisation with the live-attenuated oral poliovirus vaccines (OPVs). Global withdrawal of all three OPV serotypes is therefore a key objective of the polio endgame strategic plan, starting with serotype 2 (OPV2) in April 2016.

Update on Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Outbreaks - Worldwide, January 2021-December 2022. [PDF]
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep, 2023 Circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) outbreaks* can occur when oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV, containing one or more Sabin-strain serotypes 1, 2, and 3) strains undergo prolonged circulation in under-vaccinated populations, resulting in genetically reverted neurovirulent virus (1,2).

The Fight against Poliovirus Is Not Over
Microorganisms, 2023 Poliovirus (PV), the virus that causes both acute poliomyelitis and post-polio syndrome, is classified within the Enterovirus C species, and there are three wild PV serotypes: WPV1, WPV2 and WPV3.
