The branch provides expertise and support to improve programmatic activities and strategies, collaborate on analyses to inform decision-making, and assist in surveillance efforts for diseases prevented by existing, new, or underutilized vaccines. The Accelerated Disease Control Branch (ADCB): Works with countries and global partners to prevent, detect, and respond to vaccine-preventable diseases with control and elimination goals, including cholera, hepatitis b, measles, rubella, tetanus, and typhoid fever.The Polio Eradication Branch (PEB): Works with global partners to achieve polio eradication by providing technical leadership within the Global Polio Eradication Initiative on programmatic activities around the world. This work includes improving surveillance, data analysis, research, vaccination campaigns, and outbreak preparedness and response. PEB’s work prioritizes disrupting wild poliovirus transmission in the two remaining, polio-endemic countries (Afghanistan and Pakistan) stopping outbreaks of non-wild polioviruses by improving and maintaining high vaccination coverage rates and strengthening immunization systems to help countries remain polio-free, as well as better prepared to prevent, detect, and respond to vaccine-preventable and emerging disease threats.
