FAQs
What is Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine used for?
Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine contains live attenuated poliovirus (strain types 1, 2 and 3) and is intended for polio prophylaxis in infants 6-12 weeks of age, all unimmunized children up to 18 years of age and high-risk adults. Adults, however, should receive the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV).
What are the different types of polio vaccines?
Polio vaccines are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio). There are two types of polio vaccines, one is inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) which is given by injection and the other is weakened oral poliovirus vaccine(OPV) given by mouth.
Is Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine necessary?
Yes, polio virus attacks the nervous system which can lead to paralysis, especially of lower limbs. Therefore, it is important to get Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine as it provides protection against this virus.
Is Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine better than inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV)?
No, IPV is considered more effective than Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine. Although, it is expensive and relatively difficult to administer.

Therefore, in order to prevent polio outbreaks, Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine is the preferred form of polio vaccine.
