Abstract
Egypt succeeded in elimination of poliomyelitis by year of 2005. The current
study aimed to ensure the sustainability of tight control measures to safeguard
against re-emergence of poliomyelitis in Egypt. The study was conducted
throughout the years 2011-2012 using recorded data obtained from Ministry of
Health and Population and a cross sectional situation analysis concerned with
the observational study conducted in Fayoum Governorate. Regarding recorded
data of both Egypt and Fayoum, our results revealed that the average of lowest
estimated coverage of primary three doses of obligatory vaccination showed no
changes in its strength in the two periods before and after elimination. Also,
non-polio acute flaccid paralysis rate per 100,000 children aged < 15 years
showed considerable improvement throughout the period from 2000 to 2010.
Sewage samples given positive results for Sabin like Viruses increased by time;
this increase was accompanied by decline in presence of Wild Polio Viruses.
The observational study conducted in Fayoum revealed that the status of cold
chain, during routine vaccination and polio campaigns, was adequately
maintained. There was a possibility to loss of follow up of defaulters from
routine vaccination due to incompleteness of records regarding them. Also,
there was a possibility of leave children without vaccination during polio
campaigns. This study emphasized that control efforts have been continued to
protect against re-emergence of poliomyelitis in Egypt.K
