6. IPV was developed by Dr. Jonas Salk in 1955
It is injectable vaccine and is available only in
trivalent form
It consists of inactivated (formalin killed) strains
of all three types of polioviruses(Type 1,2,3-
40D,8D,32D antigen unit).
It provides excellent humoral immunity but no
mucosal intestinal immunity
7. It is highly effective in preventing paralytic
disease
In the event of infection, the antibodies
produced by IPV prevent the spread of virus to
CNS and protect against paralysis.
Studies in India shows that IPV given to OPV
primed children boosts the mucosal intestinal
immunity.
8. No risk of VAPP and VDPV
IPV may contain formaldehyde, and traces of
streptomycin, neomycin or polymyxin B. Some
formulations of IPV may contain 2-
phenoxyethanol(0.5%)
IPV is freeze and heat sensitive vaccine. Stored
at 2-8°C in the basket of ILR.
9. Liquid vaccine, no reconstitution is required
Dose 0.5ml
It reduces quantity and duration of virus
shedding in stool samples, which may
contribute to a reduction in transmission
IPV is one of the safest vaccine in use
IPV is not recommended for routine use in
Polio-endemic countries or in developing
countries at risk of poliovirus importations.
10. Polio eradication & endgame
strategic Plan 2013-2018
The Plan differs from previous eradication
plans because it addresses paralytic cases
associated with both wild polioviruses and
vaccine-derived poliovirus/VAPP
Goal: complete the eradication &
containment of all wild, vaccine-related and
Sabin polioviruses.
refers to wild virus
Eradication Endgame
refers to management
of VDPVs andVAPP
11. The Plan has Four Objectives
• Detect and interrupt all poliovirus transmission.1
• Strengthen immunization systems, introduce
inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) and withdraw oral polio
vaccines (OPV).
2
• Contain poliovirus and certify interruption of
transmission.3
• To plan how to utilize the legacy of the fight
against polio.4
13. RationalForTheIntroductionOfIPV
Primary purpose of introducing IPV into routine
immunization is to boost population immunity
against Type 2 poliovirus during & after the planned
global withdrawal of OPV2 and switch from tOPV to
bOPV
It will also facilitate the interruption of transmission
with the use of monovalent OPV type2 in the case of
outbreaks
To boost both humoral & mucosal immunity against
poliovirus Type 1&3, which will also hasten the
eradication of these WPVs
Mitigate the risk of emergence & transmission of
cVDPV
14. IPV is not replacing OPV
It is a pre-requisite for tOPV to
bOPV switch
15. WhywithdrawOPVType2OR
WhyswitchfromtOPVtobOPV
Thus, need to remove OPV2, but need to maintain
population immunity against type 2 with IPV prior to
OPV2 cessation
Type 2 wild poliovirus apparently eradicated since
1999 (last case detected in Aligarh, India)
New diagnostics and experience suggest that type 2
polio vaccine causes >95% of VDPVs
Type 2 causes approximately 40% of VAPP today
Type 2 component of OPV interferes with immune
response to types 1 and types 3
Risks of OPV2 far outweigh the
benefits
16. Thus, SAGE recommends a single dose of IPV at 14
weeks or first contact afterwards, or with
DTP3/OPV3/OPV4, in the EPI schedule
The immune response to one dose of IPV is
substantially higher against Type 2 poliovirus (63%)
when administered at 4 months of age compared to
6 weeks to 2 months of age (32%-39%).
17. RationalforintroducingsingledoseofIPVat14weeks
The immune response to IPV varies based on the
number of doses (higher with more doses) and the
age at vaccination (higher with delayed
immunization).
3 doses: ~100% against all 3 serotypes
2 doses: ~90% against all 3 serotypes, when
given >8 weeks of age
1 dose: ~19%-46% against Type 1, 32%-63%
against Type 2,
and 28%-54% against Type 3 poliovirus.
18. WhyIPVnotlaterthan14weeks
The purpose of IPV is to give infants
protection against type 2 VDPVs after
tOPV-bOPV switch
This IPV dose will be the only protection an
infant will receive against type 2 poliovirus
So vaccinating after 14 weeks will leave
child unprotected for a longer period of
time
19. CONTRATINDICATIONS
Documented or known allergy to
Streptomycin, Neomycin or Polymyxin B
History of allergic reaction following a
previous injection of IPV
21. IPVKeyMessagesforCommunity
Children are still at risk of polio till it is not
eradicated from the world
Just one dose of IPV with the third dose of
OPV to your child in routine immunization
at 14 weeks of age gives additional
protection against polio
IPV is available free of cost at RI session
site
Evidence indicate that 1 dose of ipv may reduce risk by protecting individual against paralytic polio if they r exposed to cVDPV2 or WPV2 or by enhancing the population immunity that can be achieved through use of mOPV2 in the setting of outbreak of type 2 poliovirus post OPV2 cessation bcause of proportionof popilatioon will already be immune as a result of having receiving IPV
The immunity level reached after a dose of mOPV2 will be higher than the immunity level with a single dose of mOPV2 in a completely susceptible population
