ActiVitY 4: outbreak prevention and response<br />
New,.innovative.response.tactics.(e.g..extended.age.<br />
groups.for.OPV.rounds).can.stop.outbreaks.in.even.<br />
less.than.six.months.<br />
emergency Actions for <strong>2012</strong>-13 expected outcomes<br />
•.Respond.immediately.with.short.interval.rounds.to.<br />
rapidly.increase.immunity.<br />
•.Expanded.age.group.for.first.two.oral.poliovirus.<br />
(OPV).rounds.(i.e..at.least.15.years.of.age).for.all.<br />
new.outbreaks.<br />
•.Systematic.joint.national/international.rapid.assessment.at.three.and.six.months.<br />
•.Technical.support.tailored.to.polio.experience.<br />
and.health.system,.including.promotion.of.better.<br />
coordination.with.other.health.efforts.to.reduce.the.<br />
number.of.susceptibles..<br />
•.Prevent.substantial.immunity.gaps.from.developing.<br />

ActiVitY 5: surveillance<br />
•.Immediate.vigorous.response.tailored.to.local.situation.and.risks.<br />
•.Substantial.reduction.in.duration.of.outbreaks,.<br />
numbers.of.polio.cases.and.polio.vaccination.<br />
rounds.<br />
•.Risk.of.future.outbreaks.reduced..<br />
Gaps.can.persist.in.subnational.areas.with.high.<br />
performance.indicators.due.to.subpopulations.and.<br />
other.factors.requiring.constant.monitoring.and.<br />
supervision.<br />
