- Abstract
This article discusses the resurgence of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) in Indonesia, which has become a setback in the global efforts to eradicate polio. The article provides details on six cases of cVDPV2 in Indonesia, including the age, gender, district, province, vaccination history, and genetic sequencing findings of each case. It highlights the challenges faced in eradicating polio in Indonesia, such as suboptimal vaccine coverage, vaccine hesitancy, and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The article emphasizes the need for comprehensive management strategies, including active case finding, environmental surveillance, and targeted vaccination campaigns, to control the spread of cVDPV2 and achieve polio eradication.
