CONCEPT NOTE

MR-OPV Supplemental Immunization Activity Orientation

I. RATIONALE

The country conducted several mass immunization campaigns in 1998, 2004, 2007, 2010
and 2014 in alignment to the National Measles Elimination Plan to eliminate measles in the
country. These supplemental measles immunization campaigns were conducted to avert
measles virus transmission and prevent deaths in the most vulnerable age groups, specifically
in under-5 year old children. For the past few years, measles outbreaks were observed in
several Regions of the country due to decreasing herd immunity and increase in the number of
susceptible under-5 year old children for measles. Mass vaccinations were lastly conducted
nationwide in 2019 due to large outbreaks of measles in most Regions of the country.

Since last June of 2019, polio outbreak due to circulating vaccine derived poliovirus (cVDPV)
occurred in several areas in the country due to the detection of poliovirus in environmental and
human samples in Metro Manila, Davao, BARMM, Region IV-A, Cebu and Region III. This
showed that the country is in a very high risk situation for polio virus re-circulation after the
country has been declared polio-free in 2000. This situation prompted a National response to
avert this poliovirus transmission through the conduct of several rounds of oral polio mass
vaccination in Mindanao and NCR with the use of both monovalent OPV type 2 (mOPV2) and
bivalent oral polio vaccines (bOPV). Starting July and September, Regions III and IV-A will
conduct a mass polio immunization campaign with the use of bivalent oral polio vaccine.

To further complete this response, all remaining Regions in Luzon and the Visayas will be
conducting the bOPV mass immunization this coming October 2020.
