Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Infants aged 6 to 8 weeks with birth weight \>2,500 g. 2. Healthy infants without obvious medical conditions like immunodeficiency diseases, severe congenital malformations, severe neurological diseases or any other disease that require high doses of corticosteroids or immunotherapies that preclude the subject from participating in the study as established by the medical history and physical examination. 3. Written informed consent obtained from both parents or legal guardian(s) as per country regulations. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Infants who have received previous vaccination against poliomyelitis. 2.
