#Strengthening #EPI Programs during outbreaks. While responding to a circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) outbreak and other outbreaks, it's critical to strengthen routine immunization programs (EPI). Why should this be paramount? ✓High-quality EPI: A strong EPI ensures high population immunity, making it harder for cVDPV2 to spread. ✓Rapid Outbreak Response: A well-functioning EPI program allows for swift implementation of vaccination campaigns to control outbreak. ✓Long-term Prevention: Investing in EPI strengthens the healthcare system's ability to prevent future outbreaks of polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases. Let's not loose focus while responding to disease outbreaks. With robust EPI, we can prevent Outbreaks. #PublicHealthemergency #EndPolio #Vaccination #EPIStrenghthening
