Poliomyelitis Chapter of Pinkbook: (Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases)
Two types of vaccine protect against polio: oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) and inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) (given as an injection in the leg or arm, depending on the patient’s age).
Oral polio vaccine (OPV) is an attenuated vaccine, produced by the passage of the virus through non-human cells at a sub-physiological temperature, which produces spontaneous mutations in the viral genome.
How were the “inactivated” and “oral” poliovirus vaccines made? OPV was made by weakening the three strains of poliovirus that caused disease by growing them in monkey ney cells.
Poliovirus vaccine is an active immunizing agent used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio). It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the virus that causes polio. There are two types of polio vaccine that are given by injection, poliovirus vaccine inactivated (IPV

Q: What is vaccine-derived polio? A: Oral polio vaccine (OPV) contains an attenuated (weakened) vaccine-virus, activating an immune response in the body. When a is immunized with OPV, the weakened vaccine-virus replicates in the intestine for a limited period, thereby developing immunity by
