Home Polio: Vaccines OPV

OPV

Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV), developed by Albert Sabin and became available in 1963, is made with a live but weakened (attenuated) virus. OPV is cheap, easy to administer and it provides “contact” immunization, as an immunized person who comes in contact with a recently immunized child might became immune too. OPV induces intestinal and mucosal immunity.
