Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Age:
Group 1- Children aged 1-5 years, previously vaccinated with ≥ 3 doses of OPV. Group 2- Infants aged 6 weeks (-7 to +14 days) with no previous polio vaccinations.
- Healthy without obvious medical conditions that preclude the subject to be in the study as established by the medical history and physical examination.
- Written informed consent obtained from 1 or 2 parents or legal guardians as per Dominican Republic regulations.
Exclusion Criteria:
Previous Vaccinations:
Group 1: Previous vaccination against poliovirus outside of the national immunization schedule and any vaccine in the previous 4 weeks.

- Major congenital defects or serious uncontrolled chronic illness (neurologic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, or endocrine).
- Known allergy to any component of the study vaccines or to any antibiotics.
- Uncontrolled coagulopathy or blood disorder contraindicating intramuscular injections.
- Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
- Acute severe febrile illness at day of vaccination deemed by the Investigator to be a contraindication for vaccination (the child can be included at a later time if within age window and all in/exclusion criteria are met).
- Member of the subject's household (living in the same house or apartment unit) has received OPV in the last 3 months, or is scheduled to receive OPV during the study period.

Oral Polio Vaccine
Opvero™ (oral) is a trivalent, live attenuated poliomyelitis virus vaccine containing at least 6.0 log 50% cell culture infective dose (CCID50) of LS c2ab strain of live attenuated polio virus type 1, 5.0 log CCID50 of P712, Ch, 2ab strain of live attenuated polio virus type 2, 5.8 log CCID50 Leon I2aIb strain of polio virus type 3. Excipients: human albumin, HEPES buffer solution, magnesium chloride solution (containing polysorbate 80 and phenol red), hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment. The vaccine is presented as a suspension for oral administration. One dose of vaccine (0.1 ml) is contained in two drops which are delivered from the dropper supplied with the multidose container.
