Zimbabwe has recorded two more polio cases, bringing the number to three since the country recorded its first case in Sanyati District, Mashonaland West Province, in December last year.
As reported by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200023373/polio-cases-rise-to-3">NewsDay</a>, the Polio Incident Manager in the Ministry of Health and Child Care, Colline Chigodo, told reporters on Monday in Harare that the cases were detected after they carried out intense surveillance and testing in four areas in Harare suburbs. Said Chigodo:
<blockquote>
During the course of last year, we started to detect this circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus at four sites in Harare.
The four sites where we are collecting from include Budiriro, Mbare, Sunningdale and Crowborough.
The country has been collecting these specimens for our virology lab, and these specimens are sent to South Africa.
In December, there was one case detected, of a child with the weakness of limp, which was detected in Sanyati district.
In this case, two specimens were collected, and this specimen tested positive for circulating vaccine-derived polio virus.
This is the confirmation that now the virus is circulating among our communities.
In addition to that, during the initial investigation within these four sites, specimens were also collected from healthy children, 20 specimens from each site.
From those sites, two cases, and two healthy children tested positive. We recently received the results on Friday last week.
They tested positive on circulating vaccine-derived polio virus type 2, but these are healthy children.
Now the virus, the circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus or wild poliovirus can be asymptomatic. It means that someone can carry the virus without having that paralysis.
So out of, let’s say, 200 children if one case tested positive, it means there are about 199 asymptomatic cases, which don’t have the signs and symptoms of weakness in our communities.
</blockquote>
The Ministry of Health and Child Care has since launched a major polio vaccination campaign countrywide from today till Friday this week.

Zimbabwe Records 3 Polio Cases

The Mass Polio Vaccination Campaign commences across the country this Tuesday targeting children aged 10 years and below.
The Deputy Minister of Health and Child Care Sleiman Kwidini said two rounds of emergency national polio vaccination campaigns targeting all children below 10 years of age have been scheduled for February and March 2024.
As reported by the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/polio-vaccination-campaign-begins/">Chronicle</a>, all children below 10 years are being targeted with an initial two rounds of novel oral Polio vaccine (nOPV2) to quickly boost their protection from type two polio viruses. Said Kwidini:
<blockquote>
The first round is scheduled between 20 February and 1 March 2024 while the second round is scheduled between 19 and 29 March 2024 for all provinces.
The emergency vaccination campaign, which will be conducted in close collaboration with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education targets to vaccinate and protect a total of 4 206 013 children in each of the two rounds.
The vaccines for both rounds one and two have already been received in the country and prepositioned in all provinces and cities.
Vaccination will be done through the deployment of house-to-house and mobile vaccination teams in addition to vaccination at all health facilities during the campaign days.
</blockquote>
Kwidini expressed gratitude to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other organisations that are supporting the initiative. He said:
<blockquote>
On behalf of the Government of Zimbabwe, I would like to acknowledge technical and funding partners who are complementing Government efforts in the fight against Polio in the country.
These include WHO, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), Unicef, Gavi-the Vaccine Alliance, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rotary Club, Crown Agents and others.
The support is appreciated and let us continue to work together until we eradicate Polio in our beautiful nation.
</blockquote>
Polio is a highly infectious disease that largely affects children under five years of age, causing permanent paralysis (approximately 1 in 200 infections) or death (2-10 per cent of those paralysed).
The virus is transmitted from person to person, mainly through the faecal-oral route or, less frequently, by a common vehicle (such as contaminated water or food) and multiplies in the intestine, from where it can invade the nervous system and cause paralysis.
The incubation period, according to health experts, is usually 7-10 days but can range from 4-35 days.
Up to 90 per cent of those infected are either asymptomatic or experience mild symptoms and the disease usually goes unrecognised.
Kwidini said the Ministry strongly encourages all parents and caregivers of children to ensure that all children below 10 years of age are vaccinated against polio and protected.

Polio Vaccination Campaign For Children Aged 10 Years And Below Begins

The Municipality of Chitungwiza’s health department will embark on the fourth round of the polio vaccination campaign during the period 10-13 October 2023.
In a public notice, the local authority said vaccination teams will be moving from house to house, schools, creches and shopping centres and markets vaccinating all eligible children during the four-day period. It said:
<blockquote>
Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious viral disease caused by poliovirus that largely affects children under 5 years of age.
The virus is transmitted by person-to-person spread mainly through the faecal-oral route or, by contaminated water or and multiplies in the intestine, from where it can affect the nervous system and cause paralysis.
Zimbabwe has been polio-free since 1989, but now the country is at high risk of infection from the Polio virus.
The virus has already been reported in neighbouring high-risk countries, Malawi and Mozambique.
In 2022, the country made a recommendable success in conducting three rounds of a nationwide oral polio vaccination campaign.
According to the recommendation from the World Health Organization, there is a need to conduct at least four rounds of oral polio vaccination for children below the age of 5 years.
Following this recommendation, the Ministry of Health and Child Care will be conducting the fourth round of oral polio vaccination from 10-13 October 2023
Finger Marking NB: A finger mark is an indication that a child is vaccinated with OPV. We are targeting ALL children 0-59 months (below 5 years).
The vaccination teams will be moving from house to house, schools, creches and at shopping centres and markets vaccinating all eligible children.
</blockquote>
Most people who contract the virus do not experience any symptoms, but in some cases, polio can cause mild to severe symptoms, including, fever, sore throat, headache, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, stiffness in the neck and back, muscle weakness or paralysis (usually in the legs), difficulty swallowing or breathing, abnormal reflexes, and muscle pain or tenderness.
There is no cure for polio, but treatment can help manage the symptoms and prevent complications.
The polio vaccine is highly effective in preventing infection and is recommended for all children.
In addition, good hygiene practices, such as washing hands regularly, can help prevent the spread of the virus.

Chitungwiza To Embark On Four-day Polio Vaccination Campaign

The City of Harare’s Health Department in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and Childcare is currently conducting the second round of Polio vaccination.
The blitz, which commenced on 1 December and will end on 4 December 2022, is targetting children under the age of five including the newly born.
Philomina Chitando, who is the City of Harare’s head of Nursing Services said the vaccines will be administered at all council clinics, shopping centers, and marketplaces. Said Chitando:
<blockquote>
This blitz is the second round of the same campaign. We are going around in communities in Harare and we also have mobile teams at bus termini, schools, creches, and markets who are carrying out this exercise.
We have 400 people providing door-to-door services, vaccinating children under the age of five including the newly born.
Children who got vaccinated for polio during the first round of the blitz in October should also come for their second doses.
</blockquote>
The first round of the polio vaccination campaign ran between October 27 and October 30.
Polio oral vaccine is free for every child and Zimbabwe has been polio-free since 1989.

Second Polio Vaccination Blitz Underway

The government launched a polio vaccination campaign on Wednesday, 26 October targeting children under the age of five.
The first round of the polio vaccination campaign is scheduled to run between October 27 and October 30 and the second round will run from December 1 to December 4.
Health and Child Care Deputy Minister Dr. John Mangwiro said polio cases have been confirmed in neighbouring countries and there are high chances of cross-border spread of the disease. He said:
<blockquote>
We share strong social and economic activities with the affected countries, hence the vaccination drive to protect children below five years as they are at risk.
</blockquote>
Also speaking at the launch, World Health Organisation (WHO) country representative, Dr. Alex Gasasira, said:
<blockquote>
I am delighted that Zimbabwe has taken great strides to eliminate polio. Parents should take advantage of this initiative and present their children for vaccination regardless of their religion.
