Key result
Adding inactivated poliovirus vaccine substantially raises polio endgame costs and prolongs national budget impacts.
Why the study?
Increasing complexity in the polio vaccine supply chain has created significant uncertainty about supply and costs as the Global Polio Eradication Initiative extends its timeline and introduces new vaccines.

May strain national immunization budgets longer than projected; leaves open sustainable financing models for the polio endgame.
Delays in achieving polio eradication combined with increasing costs of poliovirus vaccines continue to increase financial risks for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
Thompson et al. (2020) studied Poliomyelitis. Poliovirus vaccines (OPV and IPV) was evaluated. The addition of inactivated poliovirus vaccine to national immunization schedules substantially increases the costs of the polio endgame and will impact national budgets longer than expected.
