Analogies Between Certification and Verification Frameworks for Polio and Measles/Rubella
| . | Polio . | Measles/Rubella . |
|---|---|---|
| Certification/verification conducted on a regional basis | Yes | Yes |
| Standardized case definitions | AFP case with stool specimen testing for polio | Acute febrile rash case with serum testing for measles/rubella |
| Standardized case classification | Yes | Yes |
| Standardized laboratory testing and reporting protocols | Yes | Yes |
| Essential criteria for certification/verification | Absence of WPV transmission for >36 months in the presence of certification standard surveillance | Absence of endemic transmission of measles/ rubella for a period of >36 months; high-quality surveillance; genotyping evidence supporting interruption of endemic transmission |
| National-level certification/ verification bodies | National certification committees | National verification committees |
| Regional-level certification/ verification bodies | Regional certification commissions (6/6 regions) | Regional verification commissions (4/6 regions) |
| Global-level certification/ verification bodies | Global certification commission | Global verification commission |
