Highlights need for IPV transition to sustain eradication; leaves open intestinal immunity induction, warranting further study.
The transition from OPV to IPV is necessary for sustaining polio eradication, but requires addressing knowledge gaps regarding IPV's intestinal immunity.
Bandyopadhyay et al. (2015) conducted a review in Polio. Polio Vaccination (OPV and IPV) was evaluated. Inactivated polio vaccine will need to replace oral polio vaccine to sustain eradication, prompting new research to address uncertainties about IPV's ability to induce intestinal immunity.
