The detection of 3 ambiguous type 2 vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV2s) in Uganda
BACKGROUND: The Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV or Sabin) is genetically unstable and may mutate to form vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs). METHODS: In 2014, two VDPVs type 2 were identified during routine surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases. Consequently, a retrospective VDPV survey was...
