Abstract: This was a cross-sectional community-based serological survey of polio antibodies assessing the immunogenicity of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) focusing on poliovirus serotype 2. IPV was administered to 5-month-old children. Type 2 antibody seroprevalence when measured 1 month after IPV administration was >95%. One IPV dose successfully closed the immunity gap.<br /> (© The Author(s) 2022. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society.)
