“…Our work focused on the reduction in number of IPV doses and on its potency (i.e., fIPV), and was building on the studies conducted earlier in India [ 50 , 51 ]. Many follow-up studies were conducted in subjects that had not received OPV, in Cuba [ 39 , 40 , 46 ], the Philippines [ 52 ], the Netherlands [ 53 ], Oman [ 41 ], Sri Lanka [ 35 ], The Gambia [ 54 ], Ecuador [ 55 ], India [ 56 ], Pakistan [ 42 , 44 ] and Bangladesh [ 24 , 36 , 38 , 57 , 58 ] with vaccines from several manufacturers (Staten Serum Institute, Denmark, Bilthoven Biologicals, the Netherlands, and Sanofi Pasteur, France).
