Brief Summary

Globally, polio cases have decreased by over 99% since 1988. However, wild poliovirus cases continue in Pakistan. Conflict and lack of access to children due to on-going insecurity in tribal areas present special challenges in interrupting transmission rapidly. There exists limited knowledge on the effect of shorter intervals of mOPV vaccination on immunogenicity levels in young children. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of shorter intervals (7 and 14 days) between doses of mOPV1 vaccine compared to the customary interval (30 days). A 4th arm will receive bivalent (bOPV) vaccine at standard intervals beginning at 6 weeks of age.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Seroconversion with antibodies to poliovirus type 1 following a two-dose schedule of mOPV1 given at intervals of 7 and 14 days compared to mOPV1 and bOPV1&3 given at the standard interval of 30 days.

    Humoral immunity: Sera collected at birth (cord blood or peripheral blood), at 42 days, at 79 days, at 86 days, or at 102 days (depending on study arm) will be examined for the presence (detectable) or absence of neutralizing antibodies to all three poliovirus serotypes. A reciprocal titer of \>8 is considered to indicate the presence of neutralizing antibodies. For participants with detectable antibodies, seroconversion is defined as a 4-fold increase over the expected decline of maternally-derived antibodies (half-life assumed to be 28 days).

    Participants will be followed till 102 days after birth

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Seroconversion following the birth dose of tOPV.

    At birth

Study Arms (4)
