Case Studies of IPV introduction: Albania, Nigeria, and Tunisia

As countries prepare to introduce IPV, there is an opportunity to leverage lessons learned from countries that have already introduced the vaccine. The purpose of this document is to give an in-depth overview of IPV introduction in three countries: Albania, Nigeria, and Tunisia. Each

case study describes the decision-making process, the pre-introduction activities that were conducted, and the implementation process for

each country. Each case study concludes with a synthesis of the lessons learned during IPV introduction that can be applied to other countries. Using the lessons learned from Albania, Nigeria, and Tunisia—both their successes and their challenges—other countries have the opportunity to take advantage of the strategies which were most effective and avoid common pitfalls.
