Your above cited Article was reviewed by a specialist in the field and according to the comments provided,
your article cannot be considered for publication in the journal. Following are the comments:
Comments:
The article is not focused. As Polio is concerned, it is declared as national emergency in Pakistan. The
GOP has issued one important document titled: "National Emergency Action Plan" which contains
comprehensive line of action for eradication of Polio in Pakistan. It also contains provisions for social
mobilization activities to improve the uptake of services at national level. Furthermore many organizations
are also involved in advocacy, communication, and social mobilization activities in Pakistan addressing the
misconceptions for polio disease and oral polio vaccine. Furthermore all stakeholders including deputy
commissioners, Commissioners, and higher authorities are actively involved in polio eradication activities
in Pakistan. Therefore program is already there in Pakistan for the concerns mentioned in the article,
delimiting the public health importance of the article.
We regret to inform you that as per reviewer’s comments and editorial board’s
decision, the above-cited article does not qualify for publication in the JPMA.
We hope that you will appreciate our editorial decision does not reflect on the
quality of your work. Your interest in JPMA is highly appreciated.

human use in North America. The inventor used monkey kidneys to generate

The use of oral polio vaccine to eradicate the disease is merely fighting fire
There are three types of polio viruses called wild polio virus 1, 2 & 3 (WPV1,
WPV2, WPV3). The oral trivalent vaccine, which was synthesized in the
beginning, was the combination of all three live attenuated viruses. The
vaccine was widely used throughout the world. In 1999 when WHO declared
that the world is free from WPV2, the second component was taken out from
of the type 1 and type 3 polio viruses. The immunity for type 2 virus

Subject: BMJ.2014.017536 Manuscript Decision Personal view
Body: 10-Mar-2014
Thank you for sending us your paper. We read it with interest but I regret to say that
we have decided not to publish it in the BMJ. We would be happy to consider a
revision, however, that takes into account the comments below.
The issue is important as Pakistan is one of the last countries left for polio eradication,
and more so in the context of killings of polio health workers. Nevertheless, we felt the
article needs more substance that can be relied on. Some points below:
1) Need to give the context of polio eradication in Pakistan. At what stage is the
campaign; what have been the challenges historically (with references if available);
what is the vaccination coverage and how many cases of vaccine-derived polio virus
have been observed.
2) The killings have been recent, I think. So I am not sure the doubts and fears about
OPV are the sole reason for the violence, which the author states may be curbed by
building trust. Aren't the killings more recent and instigated by the CIA operations?
The number of killings and which parts of Pakistan may be mentioned.
3) They state people fear the vaccine is contaminated with ‘something’ that can harm
the human being. Can they support this more? Are there qualitative studies from
Pakistan or among Muslims elsewhere on people’s perceptions about OPV, and why
they may refuse? I am aware in India there have been instances of Muslim
communities refusing to vaccinate their children due to the belief that it may sterilize
them or harm them, and is being done to decrease their population. There have been
initiatives to work with Muslim clerics to address these fears. I read that in Nigeria it
has been similarly difficult among Muslims with their leaders accusing this is a
Western initiative to decrease their numbers and infect them with HIV. And they also
rejected tests which showed no contamination.
May the author provide some of this background as referenced sources?
5) As I understand, injectables are better than OPV as they don’t contain a live strain
and hence have a lesser chance of vaccine derived poliomyelitis. However, cost and
feasibility of implementation on a national scale are challenges, both of which factors
OPV scores on. However, in the final leg, injectables are deemed necessary, and India
is contemplating that switch. So when the author says the US shifted to injectable but
tried newer oral forms in other countries, again, some evidence would be useful
especially considering costs, feasibility, and scale.
The danger is it would just perpetrate the fear that substandard vaccines are being
given to them, and further threaten the vaccination campaign.
We receive over 8000 submissions a year and accept less than 10%. We do therefore
have to make hard decisions on just how interesting an article will be to our general
clinical readers, how much it adds, and how much practical value it will be.
Thank you for considering BMJ for the publication of your article. I am sorry to
disappoint you on this occasion, and I hope the outcome of this specific submission
will not discourage you from the submission of future manuscripts.
Best wishes
Yours sincerely
Richard Hurley
