The number and type of recommended polio vaccines depends, but the WHO recommends at least four doses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine#Schedule

Interesting. The CDC[0] in the US (IPOV insert [1]) states a single doze of 0.5ml for children and adults.

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination_schedule#United_St... it says 4 doses.

Also in your second link, in page 8 says

> All children should receive four doses of IPV at ages 2, 4, 6 to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years.
