Definitions

Technical termDefinition (in the context of these slides)Fractional DoseA fractional dose is a dose that uses less antigen (1/5th or 1/3rd) for cost or supply sparing measures. With IPV, fractional doses are being evaluated by administration into the skin (intradermal, ID). In contrast, full dose is usually administered into the muscle (intramuscular, IM) or subcutaneous tissue (SC or SQ).Intestinal ImmunityIntestinal shedding refers to the amount of virus an infected person “sheds” or passes on through their intestine (and fecal matter). Wild polioviruses and vaccine viruses can be spread from person to person this way, if there is no intestinal immunity. In developing countries the major mode of transmission is thought to be fecal shedding to others with oral ingestion.Oral-pharyngeal sheddingOral-pharyngeal shedding refers to the amount of virus an infected person “sheds” or passes on through their oral secretions (nose and mouth). In industrialized countries the major mode of transmission is thought to be oral secretion to oral ingestion.PrimingChildren who do not seroconvert after a first dose are considered primed if they seroconvert within 7 days of a 2nd dose.SeroconversionSeroconversion is defined as the development of antibodies in blood serum as a result of infection or immunization and is correlated with protection

Key messages for IPV introduction & OPV cessation

All countries introduce at least one dose of IPV into the routine immunization system before the tOPV-bOPV switch

IPV recommended by SAGE

OPV cessation must occur for the world to be polio free because OPV in rare cases can cause paralytic disease

OPV cessation crucial

Removal of type 2 in 2016 (tOPV to bOPV switch globally)bOPV cessation in 2018-2019 (complete cessation of OPV)

OPV cessation--2 phases

Ensures that a substantial proportion of the population is protected against type 2 polio after OPV2 cessation

IPV rationale

Mitigates risks of type 2 reintroduction in association with OPV2 cessation & facilitates polio eradication by boosting immunity to types 1&3

Added IPV benefits

Recommended for routine immunization…not campaignsRecommended in addition to OPV…not replacing any OPV

Technical Rationale for Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) Cessation

9/10/2014

IPV introduction

Key Messages

Because

OPV in rare cases can cause paralytic disease,

OPV cessation must occur

for the world to be polio free.

OPV cessation will occur globally in two phases:

removal of type 2 component (switch from

tOPV

to

bOPV

) in 2016

followed by

bOPV

withdrawal and cessation of OPV use in 2018-2019

.

Slide13

Oral Polio Vaccines (OPV) in routine and supplementary immunization activities globally

Types of OPVTrivalent OPV (tOPV): types 1, 2, and 3Bivalent OPV (bOPV): types 1 and 3Monovalent OPV (mOPV): types 1 or 2 or 3Currently, TRIVALENT is the most commonly used OPV in routine immunization globally, while BIVALENT is more commonly used in supplementary immunization activities.

Slide14

Types of polioviruses

99% reduction in cases of wild poliovirus since 1988Type 1 (341 cases as of 20 November 2013†)Type 2 (eliminated worldwide in 1999)Type 3 (none detected since November 2012)

Wild

Vaccine derived polioviruses (VDPV)Most are circulating VDPVs (cVDPVs)*~49-184 per year since 2008 (through 20 Nov 2013)Type 2 cVDPVs account for 97% of cVDPVs

VDPVs*

Vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP)**Estimated ~250-500 globally per yearType 2 accounts for about 40% of VAPP

VAPP**

† More up-to-date numbers can be found at http://www.polioeradication.org/Dataandmonitoring/Poliothisweek.aspx*Other extremely rare VDPVs include primary immunodeficiency VDPVs (iVDPVs) and ambiguous VDPVs (aVDPVs)**Refers to spontaneous reversion to neurovirulence of one of the attenuated viruses in OPV. VAPP occurs in OPV recipients or their close contacts in contrast to cVDPVs which are widely transmitted in a community and are not likely to be related to contact with a recent vaccine recipient.

Slide16

Rationale for continuing use of OPV until Polio Eradication & Global Certification

As long as there are susceptible persons in other countries, there is risk of export of the virus to these countries.”

Endemic in 3 countries – reservoirs for re-infecting others (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nigeria)In 2013, polio cases in 5 other countries previously polio free countries (Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Syria)

Wild poliovirus still circulating

OPV is a critical component of the eradication strategy until polio transmission is interrupted

globally & the world is certified polio-free, Risk of polio spread into other regions of the world is real without the continued use of OPV

Eradication requires OPV

InexpensiveEasy to administerOffers good oral and intestinal immunity—needed for interruption of person to person transmission

OPV is appropriate for eradication

Slide18

Rationale for removing type 2 component of OPV (OPV2)

Risks of OPV2 far outweigh the benefitsThus, need to remove OPV2, but need to maintain population immunity against type 2 with IPV prior to OPV2 cessation Type 2 poliovirus apparently eradicated since 1999 (last case detected in Aligarh, India)New diagnostics and experience suggest that type 2 cause >95% of cVDPVs Type 2 causes 40% of VAPP todayType 2 component of OPV interferes with immune response to types 1 and types 3

10/09/2014

IPV introduction

Slide19

Rationale for retaining Types 1 & Types 3 components of OPV (bivalent OPV) until global certification of polio eradication

Type 1 causes all polio cases related to wild virus todayFew VDPV cases are type 1Few VAPP cases in immunocompetent individualsType 3 last detected in November, 2012 (as of 20 November 2013)Few VDPV cases are type 3Most VAPP cases (60%) in immunocompetent persons are type 3While lack of detection since November 2012 is promising, the period without detection to date is not long enough to assume eradication—due to potential silent transmission, certification of eradication requires at least 3 years without detection of virus.

Slide20

Risks associated with OPV2 cessation

Two main risks are associated with OPV2 cessationThese risks are mitigated by strengthening routine immunization and introduction of IPV

Short-term risks

Time-limited risk of cVDPV2 emergence, highest 1-2 years after OPV2 cessation

Medium & long term risks

Poliovirus re-introduction from a vaccine manufacturing site, research facility, immune deficient persons, diagnostic laboratory, or bioterrorism

Slide21

Role of OPV post-eradication

Maintaining a stockpile of monovalent OPVs (mOPV1, mOPV2, mOPV3)Using mOPVs to control outbreaks of cVDPVs or re-introduction from a manufacturing site, research facility, or diagnostic laboratoryStockpile of mOPVs would allow a type-specific response for rapid interruption of outbreak

Planned use of IPV: SAGE Recommendations

Single dose of IPV at 14 weeks of age with DTP3, in addition to OPV3 or OPV4.

Countries have flexibility to consider alternative schedules

All endemic and other high risk countries should develop a plan for IPV introduction by mid-2014 and all OPV-only using countries by end-2014

WER, 3 Jan 2014, vol. 89, 1 (pp 1-20): at http://www.who.int/wer/2014/wer8901/en/index.html

SAGE recommended that all countries

introduce at least 1 dose of

IPV

in

their routine immunization programmes to mitigate the risks associated with the withdrawal of type 2 component of

OPV

Slide24

Features of Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV)

Not a live vaccine – no risk of VAPP or VDPVsMust be administered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injectionTrivalent – produces antibodies to types 1, 2 and 3 poliovirusA high proportion of vaccinees, generally > 95% of children, have serum neutralizing antibodies after 3 doses to all three polio serotypesAppears equivalent to OPV in inducing pharyngeal immunityInferior to OPV in inducing gut immunityMore costly to produce than OPVPartners are working towards achieving the lowest possible price for GAVI and non-GAVI countries.Collaborations & investigations underway to explore two “low cost” IPV options:fractional dose intradermal adjuvanted intramuscular IPV GAVI will cover the full cost of purchase for GAVI eligible and graduating countries

Slide27

Impact of one dose of IPV*

Primary role of one dose of IPV is intended to be a RISK MITIGATION strategy to reduce risk of re-emergence of type 2 polioviruses after OPV2 cessationSeroconversion against type 2 after one dose of IPV ranges from 32-63%. Persons who seroconvert should be protected against paralytic polioSeroconversion rates are higher when vaccine is administered later in infancy presumably because of waning maternal antibodyPersons who seroconvert should be protected against paralytic polio

Slide28

Rationale for administering IPV after 14 weeks of age, in the context of the Endgame Plan

The immune response to intramuscularly administered IPV varies based on the number of administered doses (higher with more doses) and the age at vaccination (higher with delayed immunization). 3 doses: ~100% against all 3 serotypes2 doses: ~90% against all 3 serotypes, when administered >8 weeks of age1 dose: ~19%-46% against Type 1, 32%-63% against Type 2, and 28%-54% against Type 3 poliovirus. It is important to note that immune response to one dose of IPV is substantially higher, particularly against Type 2 poliovirus (63%) when administered at 4 months of age compared to 6 weeks to 2 months of age (32%-39%). Thus, SAGE recommends a single dose of IPV at 14 weeks or first contact afterwards, or with DTP3/OPV3 or for countries administering a birth dose of OPV, at the time of the OPV4 dose

Sutter RW – Presentation to SAGE IPV Working Group June 2013 based on: Resik S et al N Engl J Med 2013;368:416-24

In a study from Cuba, among those who did not seroconvert after 1 dose of IPV, 98% had a priming response to a subsequent dose of IPV--that is, they developed significant antibody responses within 7 days of subsequent exposure to IPV. Persons without priming who are seronegative would not be expected to make detectable antibody for at least 10-14 days or longer after immunization.Persons who are seronegative but primed may also be protected against paralytic polio although data are conflicting as to whether priming alone is protective.

Outbreak control with mOPV2 in a population which previously received IPV -- REDUCE RISKS

IPV

Slide32

IPV Evidence: What impact is one dose of IPV in routine immunization likely to have during SIAs in outbreak situations?

Impact on seroconversion of IPV followed by OPV is similar to IPV-IPV or OPV-OPVThus, with one dose of IPV a proportion of the population is already immune. Use of mOPV in an outbreak control setting in a population who received a dose of IPV is likely to lead to higher immunity levels than a single dose of mOPV in a completely susceptible populationThus, population immunity thresholds to terminate poliovirus transmission are more likely to be reached after a dose of IPV followed by mOPV compared to a single dose of mOPV only in response to an outbreak.

Comparison of 2-dose response, Faden et al, JID,

1990**These data are based on a US study in Baltimore and Buffalo.

OPV challenge studies: Shedding of poliovirus in IPV versus OPV vaccinees

From Vidor E et. al, Poliovirus Vaccine – Inactivated, Vaccines 6

th edition, Elsevier, 2013

IPV is equivalent to OPV in reducing oral shedding but is inferior to OPV in reducing intestinal shedding.To the degree that polioviruses are transmitted orally, IPV should be equivalent to OPV. To the extent that polioviruses are transmitted via the fecal-oral route, IPV is likely to be inferior to OPV.

10/09/2014

IPV introduction

34

Slide35

Although IPV may not be as effective as OPV in decreasing prevalence of poliovirus excretion in stool, IPV may still decrease transmission

IPV does reduce the duration of shedding and the amount of virus shed in the stool.Thus, IPV should decrease the spread of polioviruses if they are introduced, compared to a fully unvaccinated population.

A single dose of IPV after prior doses of tOPV boosts immunity to types 1 & 3

*Moriniere BJ et al. Lancet 1993;341:1545-50, ** Estı´variz CF et al. Lancet 2012; 12(2):128-35,

Seroconversion after one dose of IPV in seronegative children with prior OPV substantially higher than would be expected with one dose of IPV in polio vaccine naïve children. Further, IPV in persons with prior OPV induces boosts in mucosal immunity.Results from a similar study in Moradabad showed 91%-100% seroconversion for types 3 and 2 respectively among those who received IPV**

IPV could also play a role in the eradication efforts, in conjunction with bOPV, by boosting immunity against type 1 and 3 polioviruses in polio endemic countries and countries where poliovirus circulation has been reestablished. Immune response to Types 1 & 3 significantly better with IPV at 6 months of age in children who received three prior doses of tOPV in Ivory Coast but were still seronegative*

Administration of Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV)

IPV is administered by intramuscular injection (IM) or subcutaneously (SQ) in a dose of 0.5 ml into the outer part of the thighWhen given at the same visit, IPV and other injectable vaccines should be given at different injection sites at least 2 cm apart For example, if IPV, Pentavalent vaccine, and Pneumococcal vaccine are to be given during the same visit, IPV and Pneumococcal should be in one thigh 2 cm apart and the Pentavalent vaccine (more reactogenic) in the other thighIPV should not be mixed with other vaccines in the same vial or syringe IPV can be administered to prematurely born infants and children with immunodeficiencies (e.g., HIV, congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, sickle cell disease)

Multiple Injections: Acceptability and Safety

Recently, more low and middle income countries have begun using multiple vaccine injections with the addition of pneumococcal vaccine and IPV Substantial evidence has reinforced the well-established record of safety and acceptance of multiple injections from countries using multiple injections*For example, US infants often receive 3 or more injections during each of the primary series vaccination visitsGiving a child several vaccinations during the same visit offers three major advantages:Immunizing children as soon as possible provides protection during the vulnerable early months of their lives.  Giving several vaccinations at the same time means parents and caregivers do not need to make as many vaccination visits. 1It means that health care providers are able to more efficiently provide and deliver other health services by reducing the time they need to spend providing vaccinations.

IPV introduction

43

IPV does not replace ANY of the OPV doses

– that is, IPV will be given in addition to OPV and OPV will continue to be used per current practice for now

IPV is recommended for routine immunization programmes

and not campaigns because injections are difficult to accommodate in campaigns against polio

The higher the IPV coverage the better, but

even low coverage will provide direct benefit

to those vaccinated and greatly facilitate building population immunity in an emergency response

Slide44

Planned use of IPV: IPV Rationale Summary

IPV induces immunity in a proportion of children which will protect them against polio caused by vaccine viruses (VAPP and cVDPVs) and polio caused by wild poliovirusIPV should lower risk of re-emergence of type 2 poliovirusesIPV in conjunction with bOPV will decrease the number of cases of VAPP caused by types 1 and 3IPV will boost immunity to types 1 and 3 which should hasten eradication of types 1 and 3 wild polioviruses and reduce polio disease caused by types 1 and 3 cVDPVsIPV by inducing immunity to type 2 will facilitate outbreak control with mOPV2 should type 2 viruses be reintroducedA proportion of the population will already be immune resulting in a higher level of immunity after a dose of mOPV2 in outbreak control than after a dose of mOPV2 to contain an outbreak in a completely susceptible populationThe higher the IPV coverage the better, but even low coverage will provide direct benefit to those vaccinated and greatly facilitate building population immunity in an emergency response
