1 - fIPV intradermally through BCG syringe (fractional dose - 0.1ml)
2 - fIPV Device A (Biojector 2000, dose 0.1 ml)
3 - fIPV Device B (Bioject ID Pen, dose 0.1 ml)
4 - fIPV Device C (Pharmajet, dose 0.1 ml)

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Healthy infants born between July 1 and December 31, 2011 (>3rd percentile for height and weight) at enrollment living within the catchment’s area of the participating health centers with documented history of receiving two doses of OPV through NIDs in 2012.
Minimum age
9 Months
Maximum age
16 Months
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
Infants <3 percentile for height and weight, residence outside the catchment’s area, or families expecting to move away during the study period, will be excluded. A diagnosis, suspicion or treatment of immunodeficiency disorder (either in the participant or in a member of the immediate family) will render the newborn ineligible for the study. Infants of mother age below legal age (<18 years) or with mentally incapacity will not be eligible to participate.
