  1. Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Infections Minnesota, 2005 Jim Alexander & Jane Seward National Vaccine Advisory Committee Washington, DC February 8, 2006

  2. VDPV Investigations: USA & Canada

  3. VDPV Investigations (1) • Wisconsin: • Investigated 2 communities • Community A (grandparents): • 13 stool specimens – all negative • 6 serum specimens – 4 triple PV(+), 2 mixed • Community B: • 4 stool specimens – all negative • Vaccinations offered – mixed response

  4. VDPV Investigations (2) • Michigan: • Identified Amish communities – “thumb” area • Families refused to give clinical specimens • Only 2 families initiated vaccination • Missouri: • Identify Amish communities – NW Missouri • Bride & groom visited family & returned to Canada • Families refused to give clinical specimens • Little/no response to vaccination • Iowa: • Vaccine coverage assessments – Amish

  5. VDPV Investigations (3) • Canada: • Investigated Amish community – SW Ontario • October wedding & MN community contact • 159 people in 24 families • 41 persons: stool and/or throat swab • All 36 stools & 5 unique throat swabs = PV (-) • 2 stools = Coxsackie A2 (+) • >17 persons received 1 dose IPV • Additional doses being offered • Post-wedding disease & infection surveillance

  6. VDPV Investigations (4) • CDC, National Immunization Program: • Coordination with states & Canada (CSTE) • Communication with other federal & international agencies – e.g. FDA, PAHO & WHO Geneva • Notification of state immunization partners, clinicians, & public – MMWR, press releases, e-mail alerts • Immunization Safety Office & MN collaboration: vaccine acceptance study • FDA, Office of Blood Research: • Helped obtain PV1 high-titered IGIV

  7. Conclusions • VDPV: No known spread beyond central MN Amish community • Well-coordinated response -- state, federal, other • Sufficient supply of IPV for response • No need to access a stockpile • Community acceptance of investigation = mixed • Good relationship with local HD >> better response • No paralytic disease >> lower sense of risk & response • Media attention >> disturbed privacy & adversely affected cooperation

  8. Lessons Learned • Current surveillance strategy = not optimal • Surveillance for paralytic poliomyelitis, not AFP • Poliovirus infections not notifiable • Optimal control strategy = multifactorial • Sensitive surveillance & rapid response • Better understanding of perceptions of disease risk & vaccination benefit among under-vaccinated groups • Balance between public/media right to know & community’s right to privacy

  9. Global Issues • Increased recognition of risks of OPV use • Recent cVDPV outbreaks: Indonesia, Madagascar • Vaccine-Associated Paralytic Polio (VAPP) cases • USA: 1st documented imported VAPP case – 2005 • Evolving WHO strategies for polio eradication: • Use of mOPV for final eradication efforts • Risk considerations in developing stockpile & outbreak response post-eradication: mOPV, IPV, antiviral drug • WHO policies, strategies & products will influence US polio outbreak response & stockpile

  10. U.S. Polio Vaccine Stockpile: IPV • Recommended: 8 million doses • Current status: ~3.5 million doses • Financing/accounting barriers to 8M dose goal • Future directions: • Continue efforts to develop uncombined IPV stockpile through Pediatric Vaccine Stockpile • Consider other options for IPV stockpile?

  11. U.S. Polio Vaccine Stockpile: Global Collaboration • NVAC/ACIP Recommendation: • U.S. & partners: finance, create & maintain global PVS • Guaranteed & immediate U.S. access • Global developments (since 2004): • Funding mechanism (IFFM) established for global PVS • Stockpile size: • Initial: 750 million doses – each serotype (PV1, PV2, PV3) • No doses stockpiled yet • Mechanisms for access being developed

  12. U.S. Polio Vaccine Stockpile: OPV • NVAC/ACIP Recommendation: • 8 million doses; mOPV, if available • Global Developments (since 2004): • Rapid progress in production, licensure & use of mOPV • Sanofi-Pasteur: mOPV1 licensure (France & Egypt) • GSK: mOPV1 licensure (Belgium, Pakistan & Egypt) • Use of mOPV1 in eradication efforts – Egypt & India • Current status: • Work with WHO to select mOPV products • Develop IND for each product (serotype & company) • Explored EUA option – not applicable

  15. Minnesota Investigation: Summary • IC Amish infant infected with VDPV • Virus circulated within infant’s community • Infant probably infected in community • No clinical disease from these infections • No known spread outside community • No hospital transmission • No spread to other Amish communities – MN • Source of virus = unknown • Origin: OPV recipient in country outside US & Canada • Proximal (likely): IC person (virus = iVDPV)
