Book excerpt: This guidance facilitates the identification of materials potentially infectious for eradicated polioviruses (WPV2 and WPV3) or originating from oral polio vaccines. Identifying, destroying or mitigating the risk of handling such materials is essential, not only to maintain the safety of laboratory workers and their communities, but also for the success of the global polio eradication effort. Facilities are encouraged to use Web Annex A to assess the risk of sample collections potentially infectious for poliovirus, and Web Annex B to complete the form available as Web Annex C. Web Annex D helps national focal points complete the progress reporting form describing preparations for poliovirus containment.
