Most countries have standard recommendations regarding which vaccines should be offered and at what ages
they should be given. In general, vaccines are recommend for the youngest age group at risk for developing
the disease whose members are known to respond to the immunization without adverse effects.
Estimates for a dose of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) begin in 2015 following the Global Polio Eradication Initiative's Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic
Plan: 2013-2018 which recommended at least one full dose or two fractional doses of IPV into routine immunization schedules as a strategy to mitigate the potential
consequences should any re-emergence of type 2 poliovirus occur following the planned withdrawal of Sabin type 2 strains from oral polio vaccine (OPV).
IPV global and regional coverage calculation is for 144 bOPV using countries.
