In 1997, the Australian National Polio Certification Committee was set up, comprising of a public health physician, a virologist and a neurologist.

appropriate measures were in place to detect and respond to importations of wild poliovirus.

a National Certification Committee in each country had validated and submitted the certification documentation required by the Regional Commission and.

no evidence of indigenous wild poliovirus transmission had been detected for a period of at least 3 years during which surveillance had been maintained at the level of performance needed for certification.

IntroductionThe Regional Commission for the Certification of Eradication of Poliomyelitis in the Western Pacific 1 had determined that the Region would only be certified as poliomyelitis-free after all countries of the Region had met the following criteria: Australia must remain vigilant against importations of wild poliovirus from endemic countries and maintain high immunisation coverage and sensitive surveillance systems.

The evidence provided was sufficient to satisfy the Regional Commission that there was no wild poliovirus circulating in the region and enabled Australia to be declared polio free on Octoalong with the other 36 countries in the Western Pacific Region.

Plans for containment of laboratory stocks of wild poliovirus are being implemented. If there were an importation of a case of poliomyelitis into Australia, a national outbreak response would be coordinated through the Communicable Diseases Network Australia. The immunisation coverage in the country has been over 80 per cent over the last 3 years. Australia has in place a comprehensive network of laboratories for enterovirus surveillance and this provides further evidence for the absence of wild poliovirus infection. No wild polioviruses have been isolated from stool samples of AFP cases. AFP surveillance has improved since it was initiated in 1995 and achieved a rate of 0.94 per 100,000 population in 1999. The last wild poliomyelitis virus case in Australia was in 1972. Data on surveillance of poliomyelitis, acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), vaccine associated paralytic polio and enteroviruses were provided to document the absence of circulation of wild poliovirus.
