Comparing polio vaccine schedules for babies
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of giving the polio vaccine to babies, either as a separate shot or combined with other routine vaccines. It aims to find the best schedule for protecting babies from polio.

This study looks at giving two routine vaccines at the same time to 2-month-old babies: the inactivated polio vaccine (sIPV) along with the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough) vaccine or the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well, so your baby would get their scheduled shots in one visit.
This study is testing whether giving the third dose of an inactivated polio vaccine together with a hepatitis A vaccine is safe and works well in 4-month-old babies. Your child would receive both vaccines at one visit, which could mean fewer shots for your baby.
This study tests giving babies two different types of polio vaccines in a specific order to see which is safer and more effective. If your baby is about 2 months old and hasn't had any polio vaccine yet, they may be able to join.
This study tests a new oral polio vaccine given to healthy infants at 16 weeks old. It aims to see if the vaccine is safe and works well to protect against polio.
This trial tests a polio vaccine (sIPV) in healthy people aged 7-50 years. It aims to see how safe and effective the vaccine is, and may help protect against polio.
This study tests a new combined vaccine that protects against several serious diseases in one shot. It aims to check if the vaccine is safe and works well in infants and toddlers.
