Key result
An additional dose of IPV-Al in 4-year-old children boosted seroprotection rates to 99.4% for poliovirus type 1 and 100% for types 2 and 3, with up to a 30.9-fold increase in titres.
Why the study?
To evaluate the persistence of seroprotective antibodies in 4-year-old children previously primed and boosted with IPV-Al, and to determine the booster response and safety of an additional dose.
Does an additional dose of IPV-Al induce a robust booster response and maintain safety in 4-year-old children previously primed with the vaccine?
Does an additional dose of IPV-Al induce a robust booster response and maintain safety in 4-year-old children previously primed with the vaccine?
An additional dose of aluminium-adjuvanted reduced dose IPV at 4 years of age induces a robust anamnestic response, demonstrating persistent immune memory.
May support IPV-Al booster at age 4 in primed children; hypothesis-generating for routine use pending randomized confirmation.

Sáez‐Llorens et al. (2022) studied Poliovirus immunity. IPV-Al (Picovax®) was evaluated on Persistence of seroprotective antibodies (poliovirus type-specific antibody titre ≥ 8) and booster response. An additional dose of IPV-Al in 4-year-old children boosted seroprotection rates to 99.4% for poliovirus type 1 and 100% for types 2 and 3, with up to a 30.9-fold increase in titres.
