About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of co-administration of nOPV1 + nOPV2 in infants, relative to those receiving monovalent nOPV vaccines alone and whether two and/or three doses of co-administered nOPV1 and nOPV2 are non-inferior to corresponding doses of nOPV1 alone and nOPV2 alone.
