The Republican Center for Immunoprophylaxis reports a concerning trend in Kyrgyzstan: the coverage of immunization against poliomyelitis is decreasing, which may lead to an increase in cases of the disease.

Currently, the country remains free of poliomyelitis. Both planned and additional vaccination campaigns are ongoing, monitoring of vaccine storage quality is being conducted, and efforts are being made to raise public awareness about the importance of vaccinations.

However, data from the period 2020 to 2024 shows that the coverage of children with preventive vaccinations against poliomyelitis is gradually decreasing, which raises concerns, as specialists have indicated.

According to the center's information, to maintain herd immunity and prevent the possibility of re-importation or spread of the poliovirus, the vaccination level must be at least 95%. However, the current vaccination rates in the country are below this standard, which increases the risk of disease, the report emphasizes.

The table below lists the timing and types of vaccines that both children and adults should receive at specific stages of life.
