Following the confirmation of cases of poliovirus type 2 spread in several countries in West and Central Africa, the Ministry of Public Health is organizing a nationwide vaccination campaign in May and June to respond to the polio epidemic. After being declared polio-free in June 2020, Cameroon experienced a new outbreak in the capital Yaoundé in February 2021, where a vaccination campaign was carried out in at-risk areas leading to the containment of the virus.
