  1. aThe original and new values equal 1.5 and 1.7 times the estimated time to reach viral protein 1 divergence thresholds defined by the Global Polio Laboratory Network, [28, 29], respectively.
  2. bContinued discussion of available routine immunization data in Nigeria determined that DTP coverage probably provides a more reliable estimate of routine immunization coverage for polio vaccine doses, because reported polio vaccine doses likely includes doses administered as part of SIAs.
