The novel oral polio vaccine (nOPV2) is currently in the wider use roll-out phase under WHO Emergency Use Listing (EUL) for the control of type 2 circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV2) outbreaks, in line with the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immu nization (SAGE) guidance.
In polio-endemic countries and in countries at high risk for importation and subsequent spread, WHO recommends an bOPV birth dose (a zero dose) followed by a primary series of 3 bOPV doses and at least 1 IPV dose.
