Abstract
Circulating Vaccine Derived Poliovirus (cVDPV), is a genetic mutation of the Sabin virus. Sierra Leone reported its last case of wild polio virus in 2010. However, in December 2020, the national disease surveillance program was notified of three people with acute flaccid paralysis who had cVDPV2. We investigated to identify the source, determine the magnitude of the outbreak and risk factors.
