Dear Local Health Department Partner,This email is to inform you that eligibility for existing doses of Ukrainian IPOL® poliovirus vaccine has been expanded to include all uninsured and underinsured adults (NOT VFC-eligible children). It is important to note that this change only applies to doses currently on-hand. To reduce waste, if you still have available doses of IPOL® on-hand, we encourage you to take advantage of the expanded eligibility for these vaccines.
