| Abstract | : | Key Messages Indonesia’s polio-free status as well as the 2023 global polio eradication target have been threatened by disruptions to immunization services caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and related restrictions. Fear of contracting COVID-19, human resource diversion, and travel restrictions posed barriers to delivering polio immunization services during the pandemic. To resume polio vaccination efforts and maintain polio-free status, Indonesia health authorities need to take action to: ∘ Maximize vaccine service reach by mapping children who have not been vaccinated and monitor the vaccine supply chain ∘ Integrate vaccine delivery with pandemic response efforts ∘ Mobilize communities for advocacy and education ∘ Adjust programs to address human resource, physical, and financial resource gaps ∘ Strengthen monitoring and evaluation and surveillance efforts |
