Implication

Advances polio eradication; leaves open long-term IPV sustainability and VDPV surveillance needs.

Structured PICO

Population

Global population across 155 countries and territories using oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) in immunization schedules in 2015, and 194 World Health Organization (WHO) countries.

Intervention

Global synchronized replacement of trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (tOPV) with bivalent OPV (bOPV) and introduction of at least 1 dose of injectable, trivalent inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) into childhood immunization schedules.

Outcome

Cessation of tOPV use and inclusion of IPV in national immunization schedules.

The successful global withdrawal of tOPV and introduction of IPV represents a major milestone in the effort to eradicate poliomyelitis and eliminate vaccine-derived polioviruses.
