Although no cases of paralysis have been reported in these countries, the presence of the virus in wastewater indicates community transmission. Health authorities are urging for increased vaccination efforts to prevent outbreaks, highlighting the importance of maintaining high vaccination coverage to achieve and sustain polio eradication.
