Looking back on 2020: eradicating polio in a pandemic
In 2020, the Eastern Mediterranean regional polio programme faced significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic but continued efforts to eradicate polio. Despite disruptions, vaccination campaigns resumed, reaching millions of children. The programme adapted by integrating COVID-19 response measures, such as contact tracing and testing. New polio outbreaks in Yemen and Sudan highlighted the need for continued vigilance. The World Health Organization and local health ministries played crucial roles in maintaining immunization efforts, with a focus on restoring pre-pandemic vaccination rates and preventing further outbreaks.
