Estimating population immunity to poliovirus in Jordan’s high-risk areas

Date of Publication: November 05, 2019
Category: Infectious diseases, Polio, Emerging and Re-emerging Infections
Name of Journal: Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics
Authors: Noha H. Farag, Kathleen Wannemuehler, William Weldon, Ali Arbaji, Adel Belbaisi, Najwa Khuri-Bulos, Derek Ehrhardt, Mohammad Ratib Surour, Nabil Sabri ElhajQasem, and Mohammad Mousa Al-Abdallat
Abstract: A community-based serosurvey was conducted among children ages 6–59 to assess population immunity in Jordan’s high-risk areas following the Middle East polio outbreak response. The survey was a two-stage cluster-quota sample with high risk areas as the primary sampling units. High-risk areas included border and hard-to-reach areas, and areas with a high proportion of refugees, mobile communities and/or low coverage during previous immunization campaigns. Population immunity to poliovirus was high overall. In high-risk areas, Type 1...

To inform efforts towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3.2-to end preventable child deaths by 2030-we need consistently estimated data at the subnational level regarding child mortality rates and trends. Here we quantified, for the period 2000-2017, the subnational variation in mortality rates and number of deaths of neonates, infants and children under 5 years of age within 99 low- and...
