Indonesia’s West Java province began a two-round vaccination effort against polio on April 3, targeting 3,984,797 children under 5. The monthlong novel OPV2 campaign follows a case of acute flaccid paralysis in Purwakarta confirmed as cVDPV2 in mid-March. As of April 11, the campaign has achieved 85 percent coverage. The second round is planned for the third week of May. Indonesia was certified free of wild poliovirus in 2015. OANA; WHO
