We tested two poliovirus vaccination regimens substituting IPV for the 4th EPI tOPV dose.
Neither regimen gave superior intestinal mucosal immunity measured by 1-year poliovirus shedding.
The two regimens were equivalent within a 95%CI margin of prevalence of shedding of −10% to +4%.
20">Results for shedding analyses stratified by poliovirus type were similar.
25">IPV regimen strongly enhanced humoral immunity with higher sero-prevalence and -conversion.
