Key result
New tools such as novel oral poliovirus vaccines and virus-like particle vaccines are critical for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to overcome evolving challenges and achieve eradication.
Why the study?
As the Global Polio Eradication Initiative approaches final eradication, re-strategizing in the face of evolving challenges and preparing for post-certification risks are critical.
Highlights the evolving strategies and new vaccine tools required for the final stages of global polio eradication.

Supports prioritization of novel polio vaccines; leaves open their real-world impact on eradication.
As the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) strategizes towards the final steps of eradication, routine immunization schedules evolve, and high-quality vaccination campaigns and surveillance systems remain essential. New tools are consistently being developed, such as the novel oral poliovirus vaccine to combat outbreaks more sustainably, as well as non-infectiously manufactured vaccines such as virus-like particle vaccines to eliminate the risk of resurgence of polio on the eve of a polio-free world. As the GPEI inches towards eradication, re-strategizing in the face of evolving challenges and preparing for unknown risks in the post-certification era are critical.
