A. An internationally managed global stockpile of monovalent OPV (types 1, 2 and 3) is being developed for use in the event of a polio outbreak after the cessation of OPV. Such a stockpile will allow a type-specific response which will not only ensure a greater impact of the outbreak response, but also prevent the reintroduction of other polioviruses.
