Note: IPV = inactivated poliovirus vaccine; oSIA = outbreak response supplemental immunization activity; DALY = disability-adjusted life-year; OPV = oral poliovirus vaccine; OPV2 = serotype 2-containing OPV

a.

Including treatment costs savings associated with prevented polio cases.

b.

Comparator uses same IPV take rate for IPV used in SIAs prior to OPV2 cessation and in routine immunization as IPV oSIA strategy assumes.

c.

Assumes no impact on cases prevented.

d.

Assumes 0% discount rate, 95% IPV take rate, fractional IPV doses with no wastage, IPV price of $0.75 per full dose, and $0.30 incremental administration costs for IPV co-administered with OPV compared to OPV-only.
