Intradermal Versus Intramuscular Polio Vaccine Booster in HIV-Infected Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a lower dose of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) injected into the skin (intradermal administration) can work equally well or better than the standard dose injected into the muscle (intramuscular administration). There are more immune cells in the skin than in the muscle, and other vaccines have been shown to require a lower dose when administered intradermally. The study is being done in participants infected with HIV because HIV-infected people are known to respond less well to vaccines than other groups, so it is particularly important to know if IPV might work better in HIV-infected people if administered intradermally. If it is possible to lower the dose of IPV by intradermal administration, this would make inactivated polio vaccine more affordable in the developing countries where it is most needed
