The central finding is that IPV has a limited advantage over monovalent OPV2 for humoral immunity and paralysis protection due to the high immunogenicity of the Sabin 2 strain.

The central finding is that IPV has a limited advantage over monovalent OPV2 for humoral immunity and paralysis protection due to the high immunogenicity of the Sabin 2 strain. Furthermore, the review highlights that since May 2021, children under 5 have not been exposed to type 2-containing OPV, meaning an IPV dose in campaigns would not boost intestinal mucosal immunity without prior OPV exposure. The review also notes that adding IPV increases cost, complicates logistics, and may hinder rapid, high-coverage campaign implementation.
