    Author: Grassly NC, Wadood MZ, Safdar RM, Mahamud AS, Sutter RW.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2018 Nov; 24(11):2113-2115. PubMed ID: 30252646.
    Abstract:
    Pakistan began using inactivated poliovirus vaccine alongside oral vaccine in mass campaigns to accelerate eradication of wild-type poliovirus in 2014. Using case-based and environmental surveillance data for January 2014-October 2017, we found that these campaigns reduced wild-type poliovirus detection more than campaigns that used only oral vaccine.
