Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intradermal administration of single fractional dose of inactivated polio vaccine via BCG needle or one of three different needle-free devices.

There are 4 interventional arms (in each arm one IPV dose is administered):

1 - fIPV intradermally through BCG syringe (fractional dose - 0.1ml)
2 - fIPV Device A (Biojector 2000, dose 0.1 ml)
3 - fIPV Device B (Bioject ID Pen, dose 0.1 ml)
4 - fIPV Device C (Pharmajet, dose 0.1 ml)

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Healthy infants born between July 1 and December 31, 2011 (>3rd percentile for height and weight) at enrollment living within the catchment’s area of the participating health centers with documented history of receiving two doses of OPV through NIDs in 2012.
Minimum age
9 Months
Maximum age
16 Months
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
Infants <3 percentile for height and weight, residence outside the catchment’s area, or families expecting to move away during the study period, will be excluded. A diagnosis, suspicion or treatment of immunodeficiency disorder (either in the participant or in a member of the immediate family) will render the newborn ineligible for the study. Infants of mother age below legal age (<18 years) or with mentally incapacity will not be eligible to participate.

Summary
Brief summary
This trial will inform on polio eradication prerequisite regarding implementation of IPV requirements in countries that retain poliovirus in laboratories or in production as well as on the performance and usability of three different needle-free devices to deliver fractional dose IPV (affordable IPV) in routine immunization programs as well as during vaccination campaigns.
