Polio vaccine works alongside routine infant shots, study finds
NCT ID NCT05850364
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a polio vaccine (sIPV) is still effective when given at the same time as other routine vaccines for infants, like those for pneumonia, diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. About 1,400 babies in Bangladesh and Pakistan received the polio vaccine either alone or with other shots at 6, 10, and 14 weeks old. The goal was to see if the immune response to polio and the other vaccines was similar in both groups.
