Abstract
Although poliovirus vaccination is not new the recent changes in ACIP recom mendations involving polio vaccinations are. Currently, wild type polioviru s has been eliminated in the Western hemisphere, but vaccine-associated cas es (VAPP) still occur. The new recommendations are intended to continue pro viding protection and to eliminate VAPP cases from occurring in vaccinees o r close contacts.
