The U.S. National Authority for Containment of Poliovirus (US NAC), run through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, launched a survey in 2018 as part of our country's compliance with the World Health Organization's Global Action Plan. Identifying stocks of poliovirus and materials with the potential to contain poliovirus is a vital step in the worldwide poliovirus eradication effort.
In the coming weeks, the US NAC will reach out to principal investigators who have yet to complete this survey. Please take this communication seriously. If you do not have the materials with which they are concerned, you will still need to complete the survey to attest to this. If the US NAC contacts you and you do not complete the survey, you will remain on their list indefinitely. Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.
