Abbreviations: bOPV, bivalent OPV; GPEI, Global Polio Eradication Initiative; IC, initial conditions; OPV, oral poliovirus vaccine; OPV2, type 2 OPV; p(die out), probability of die out of transmission by the end of the time horizon; POS, probability of successful OPV cessation; pSIA, preventive supplemental immunization activity; WPV1, type 1 wild poliovirus. a Column shows the poliovirus type(s) of POS estimates in the study and the expected POS for the modeled baseline (range of POS values for different scenarios considered, where applicable); see each study for specific details. b Model prospectively assumed GPEI and countries would implement all recommended OPV cessation risk management strategies. c For this study, baseline estimate POS of 11% for type 2, but hypothetical additional scenarios included pSIAs to achieve WPV1 eradication by 2023 and implemented bOPV cessation in 2025 with POS estimates for each type shown. d No consideration of bOPV cessation in this analysis since it would only potentially occur after the model time horizon.
