Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 286631 0
Reduction in excretion of a challenge dose of vaccine poliovirus administered 28 days after a single dose of bOPV or IPV following a challenge dose with bOPV, compared to an unvaccinated control arm. This outcome is assessed by comparision of viral shedding in stool of enrolled children.
