The immunity using needle free jet devices is not optimum as is evident in the study in Cuba, the link,
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20350164
But IPV given with needle is equally effective as is evident in a study in Philippines, the link,

Randomized controlled study of fractional doses of inactivated poliovirus vaccine administered intradermally with a needle in the Philippines
So, we need to explore low cost intradermal IPV with needle and syringe as a viable option,
