Abbreviations: cVDPV, circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus; HIGH, high-income; IPV, inactivated poliovirus vaccine; iVDPV, immunodeficiency-associated vaccine-derived poliovirus; LMI, lower middle-income; LOW, low-income country; OPV, oral poliovirus vaccine; oSIA, outbreak response SIA; PAVD(40 %, 90 %), polio antiviral drug (passive or active use policy, respectively); R0, basic reproduction number for serotype 1 wild poliovirus; RI, routine immunization; T0, beginning of analytical time horizon (i.e., January 1, 2013); SIA, supplemental immunization activity; UMI, upper middle-income

a Age groups impacting the fraction of newborns born as maternally immune children [47,52]

b Detection of paralytic cases assumes a time of 10 days between onset of infection and paralysis to reflect the average incubation period [47]

c Global Poisson rates indicate the baseline annual rate at which potential introduction events occur anywhere in the world, with the distribution by income level indicated separately or as indicated in the text for IPV production site releases
