FAQ's on Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine

What is Poliomyelitis used for?

Poliomyelitis 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).

When should Poliomyelitis be given?

Children are usually advised 4 doses of Poliomyelitis. The first dose is given at age of 2 months and then the next doses are given at 4 months, 6–18 months and 4–6 years, respectively. However, sometimes Poliomyelitis is given in a combination vaccine along with other vaccines. In this case, a child might receive a fifth dose of Poliomyelitis. Adults, on the other hand, do not need to get vaccinated if they have already been vaccinated as a child.

Is Poliomyelitis better than inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV)?

No, IPV is considered more effective than Poliomyelitis. Although, it is expensive and relatively difficult to administer. It was seen that giving Poliomyelitis alone led to more cases of polio when compared to Poliomyelitis because it is a live form of the virus. Therefore, in order to prevent polio outbreaks Poliomyelitis is the preferred form of polio vaccine.

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 necessary?

Yes, polio virus attacks the nervous system which can lead to paralysis, especially of lower limbs. Therefore, it is important to get Poliomyelitis as it provides protection against this virus.
