Fresh cases of disease linked to oral vaccine seen in Sudan, following outbreak in Chad.
A new polio outbreak in Sudan has been linked to the oral polio vaccine that uses a weakened form of the virus.
News of the outbreak comes a week after the World Health Organization
(WHO) announced that wild polio had been eradicated in Africa.
The WHO linked the cases to a strain of the virus that had been noted
circulating in Chad last year and warned that the risk of spread to
other parts of the Horn of Africa was high.
