Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The U.S. Government, through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S. CDC) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), supports Mozambique to implement a polio vaccination campaign in response to cases of poliomyelitis identified in Nampula, Cabo Delgado Provinces, and neighbouring Malawi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are closer than we have ever been to eradicating polio worldwide, and this campaign is another step towards that goal. The eradication of polio is a priority for the U.S. Government, and we welcome the opportunity to continue to work with the Ministry of Health and other partners to support the polio vaccine campaign,\u201d said Alfredo Vergara, CDC Mozambique Country Director. \u201cThe first round of the campaign reached 4.8 million children under five years old, which has largely exceeded the target of 4.2 million children that was initially planned \u2013 a testament to what is possible through partnership,\u201d Director Vergara said.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Government supports the Ministry of Health (MISAU) in planning, implementing, and monitoring the polio vaccination campaign in the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula, Niassa, Zambezia, Tete, Manica and Sofala. Additional support includes polio surveillance activities to detect suspected cases and inform other needed preventive interventions, as well as assistance from CDC-trained STOP Program staff who work along the Malawi-Mozambique border to implement vaccination activities to prevent the spread of wild poliovirus.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Government is also providing funding and technical assistance for local and international partners to support the vaccination campaign. This includes the Mozambique\u2019s Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP), Programa Inter-Religioso Contra a Malaria (PIRCOM), and MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity (M-RITE).<\/p>\n

During the second round of the polio vaccine campaign \u2013 to be launched on April 28 \u2013 the U.S. Government will continue its close partnership with MISAU and Global Polio Eradication Initiative partners, including the World Health Organization, United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Rotary International, and Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI).<\/p>\n

For more than 60 years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has leveraged its technical and scientific expertise to help people throughout the world live healthier, safer, longer lives. U.S. CDC\u2019s Center for Global Health coordinates and manages the agency\u2019s resources and expertise to address global challenges such as HIV\/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases, emergency and refugee health, non-communicable diseases, injuries, and more.<\/p>\n

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) leads the U.S. Government\u2019s international development and disaster assistance through partnerships and investments that save lives, reduce poverty, strengthen democratic governance, and help people emerge from humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n
