Risks to Polio Eradication in UP • Risk of re-introduction of poliovirus from areas with recent cases outside the State • Survival and spread of virus through migrant populations • Risk of ongoing low level circulation • Complacency in efforts
Programme Priorities in UP • Ensuring high quality SIA activities in 66 high risk blocks • Tracking Migratory population for immunization coverage during each SIA round and in between the rounds • Maintaining SIA quality all over the state • Sustaining high quality AFP surveillance • Preparedness for rapid response in case of any wild poliovirus detection • To sustain the gains, need to strengthen Routine Immunization
<60% 60% - <80% 80% - <90% >90% Continued focus on most vulnerable population % Teams identifying and immunizing newborns 95% May ‘11 2011 *Monitoring Data
X houses generated – 66 HR blocks, Uttar Pradesh Out of all houses visited, an average of 15-18% are X houses
X houses converted – 66 HR blocks, Uttar Pradesh Following intensive tracking of X to P conversions, 50-60% of X houses are converted to P
X houses left at the end of activity – 66 HR blocks, Uttar Pradesh Out of the remaining X houses, nearly 90% are not convertible to P Convertible X houses: Reluctant to accept OPV or child unvaccinated due to other reasons Non-convertible X houses: Permanently locked house (>6 weeks) or child out of village during round
Improved quality of SIA coverage in Uttar Pradesh < 2 % Unvaccinated children at end of round in West UP 2010 2009 2011
Intensified support of Partners: 66 HR blocks • NPSP(WHO) • 55 SMOs and 99 Field Volunteers assigned • Support in microplanning, training of vaccinators, monitoring of SIAs • RI monitoring • UNICEF & CORE • 10 convergence consultants deployed • 344 additional CMCs deployed • Mobilization for RI sessions / RI monitoring. • Facilitated conversion of 45000 manual scavenger operated dry latrine to sanitary latrines with district administration support in Badaun. Expanding support to Moradabad, Ghaziabad and in Meerut. • Rotary • Polio Block Coordinators deployed in 6 HR blocks • IEC activities All partners promoted use of Zinc and ORS
Challenges…….. • Staff vacancies exist: fresh appointments with priority placements in HR blocks • 36% MO Vacancies exist (state avg. 27%) • 23% ANM Vacancies exist (state avg. 13%) • Experienced ANMs being placed in 66 HR blocks • Increasing Routine immunization coverage in HR blocks • Additional RI sessions planned • Need to strengthen ORS and zinc distribution • Zinc procured and distributed
Tracking Migratory Population in UP The biggest challenge is to immunize these children repeatedly in every round
Tracking of High Risk Groups – UPFeb 2011 No of children vaccinated 7733* 18627* 11633* 5076* * No. of sites in each category
% Missed children found among migrants – 2011, Uttar Pradesh % Less than 1% children missed in 66 HR blocks Data Source : End of Round Survey Monitoring

Preparedness for rapid response in case of any wild poliovirus detection
State Emergency Preparedness & Response Plan • State Emergency Preparedness and Response Group formed • Rapid Response Team (RRT) Members identified and notified • Senior state officials identified for deployment to districts for supervising mop up at the shortest possible time • Risk Analysis done in every district to identify the areas at risk of importation: • 19 districts in west UP with 66 HR Blocks • 3855 HRAs identified in West UP districts • 7277 HRAs identified in C/E UP districts • Commissioners and District Magistrates mobilized for intensification of SIA activity by Principal Secretary: • Video conferencing • DO letters
Strengthening Routine Immunization • Monitoring data shows positive trend: • Steps initiated in Jaccha Bachha Suraksha Abhiyan (JBSA) being followed up for immunization days • Newborn data of SIA campaigns being used for generation of due lists • Village wise list of beneficiaries used by ANMs for tracking RI coverage • RI coverage in HR blocks of West UP being monitored for intensification of efforts • DMs reviewing RI progress in DTF meetings • District level senior officers involved in monitoring • Intensified monitoring by NPSP, UNICEF, CORE and Govt officers • Harmonization of polio SIA and RI microplans • Ensuring timely vaccine availability before stock-outs • Building a system for sending alerts through SMS to ANMs as a reminder for due dates

State’s Commitment State is highly committed for polio eradication Strong political and administrative support Regular review meetings by Principal Secretary State task force meeting to review preparedness before each SIA Regular review in DIOs meeting Review through video conferencing Tracking quality of SIA rounds Increasing district administration’s involvement DO letters to DMs Holding of DTFs at least 10 days before round Increasing awareness through enhanced Media involvement and IEC
High political commitmentHon’ble Health Minister launching SIA on 26 Jun,2011
Support required Supply of cold chain equipments Repair of ILR and Deep freezers Replacement of non serviceable vaccine carriers Supply of ice packs Supply of hub cutters Regular supply of routine immunization vaccines To avoid stock outs – buffer stock required
