Welcome to the mOPV2 management Group!
The GPEI mOPV2 Management workshops held in Istanbul in 2018 and Nairobi in 2019, enabled building the capacity of almost hundred experts in cold chain logistics and vaccine management. The purpose of these workshops was to reinforce the capacity of experts in mOPV2 management.
A comprehensive mOPV2 Cold Chain, logistics and vaccine management training package was developed to equip experts/consultants and polio focal points to better support countries during polio outbreak response and Oubreak Response Assessment (OBRA).
The experts recommended creating and cultivating a Polio Response Outbreak Community of Practices – CoP – specialized in mOPV2 cold chain logistics and vaccine management. The purpose of the CoP is to exchange knowledge, technical updates, OBRA outcomes, SitReps, new tools and guidelines, as well as best practices from countries.
The CoP fosters collective intelligence to enable its members to reveal their highest potential and expertise through collaboration and innovation in synergic nurturing relationship. This Group Discussion gives the opportunity to CoP members to share experience and innovations. In future issues, we will share additional ways to improve communication and collaboration among our community.
Please join our CoP and share with us your experience and innovations related to mOPV2 CCL & VM for Outbreak Response in countries.

Every year, the WHO European Region marks European Immunization Week (EIW) to promote immunization as vital to preventing diseases and protecting life.
This year, on 24–30 April 2019, the campaign aims to raise awareness of the benefits of vaccines and to celebrate the “vaccine heroes” who contribute in so many ways to protecting lives through vaccination.
