5.1. Responding quickly to outbreaks We found consistency in the recommendations made independently from different transmission modeling studies [14, 35, 43, 55, 98, 133, 162, 166] with respect to the importance of rapidly detecting and responding to outbreaks. Multiple studies also recommended that in the event of detection of a transmitting virulent virus (i.e. WPV or cVDPV) after OPV cessation, using OPV for outbreak response offered the best option [14, 35, 52, 55, 68, 133, 134], although its use comes with risks. Specifically, all three modeling groups expected the risks associated with using OPV for outbreak response after OPV cessation would increase as a function of the time since cessation (i.e. as more birth cohorts without exposure to LPVs accumulate). The modeling motivated the creation of mOPV vaccine stockpiles for outbreak response after OPV cessation to ensure sufficient supplies. For the review inclusion time (2000–2019), only KRI applied transmission modeling to questions related to creating, funding, and managing stockpiles of poliovirus vaccines [21, 23, 53, 65, 77], although one economic analysis considered the US stockpile [174].
