    Area of Science:

    • * Public Health
    • * Epidemiology
    • * Immunology

    Background:

    • * Poliomyelitis epidemiology and global eradication campaigns are reviewed.
    • * German immunization task force (STIKO) recommendations for polio vaccination are discussed.
    • * Oral polio vaccine (OPV) use in developing nations and its successes are noted.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To review the global status of polio eradication efforts.
    • * To discuss German polio vaccination recommendations.
    • * To evaluate different polio vaccination strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • * Review of poliomyelitis epidemiology and vaccination data.
    • * Analysis of WHO global eradication campaign progress.
    • * Discussion of STIKO recommendations and vaccine efficacy.

    Main Results:

    • * Global polio eradication by 2000 is unlikely due to financial and organizational hurdles.
    • * OPV has shown success in developing nations, but challenges remain.
    • * STIKO recommends trivalent OPV, with enhanced-potency inactivated polio vaccine for specific risk groups.

    Conclusions:

    • * Combined oral and inactivated polio vaccine strategies offer excellent immunity.
    • * Combined vaccination may be crucial where other strategies falter.
    • * Polio eradication requires sustained global commitment and resources.
