GPEI employs several strategies to achieve its goals:
Routine Immunization: Ensuring that children receive polio vaccines as part of their regular immunization schedule. Supplementary Immunization Activities (SIAs): Conducting mass vaccination campaigns to immunize children in countries where polio is still endemic or at risk of outbreaks. Surveillance: Detecting and investigating cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) to identify and respond to poliovirus transmission. Mop-up Campaigns: Targeted vaccination efforts in areas where polio has been recently detected. Outbreak Response: Rapid immunization responses to new polio cases to prevent further spread.
