In this case they called it "nonpolio accute flaccid paralysis" instead. This paper found incidence correlation with vaccination rates (more vaccines, more NPAFP): http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/135/Supplement_1/S16.2 http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/135/Supplement... "NPAFP increased with the number of oral polio vaccine (OPV) doses used (R2 = 25.02%; P < .001). When effect of cumulative doses over the previous years was examined, the NPAFP rate in 2013 best correlated with the cumulative doses received in the previous 7 years (R2 = 57.16%), with 2012 excluded because data for this year were incomplete. This correlation was highly significant (P < .001). On multiple regression analysis, the number of OPV doses was the only factor that showed a positive correlation with the NPAFP rate."
