Inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) is given in a combination vaccine
along with other vaccines. In this case, a child might receive a fifth dose of IPV. IPV is usually given at the ages 2 months, 4 months, 6-18 months, and 4-6 years. The World Health Organisation recommends all children be fully vaccinated against polio. The two vaccines have eliminated polio from most of the world, and reduced the number of cases reported each year from an estimated 350,000 in 1988 to 33 in 2018. The first successful demonstration of a polio vaccine was by Hilary Koprowski in 1950, with a live attenuated polio vaccine, developed a few years later by Jonas Salk, came into use in 1955. Another OPV was developed by Albert Sabin and came into commercial use in 1961.
Polio vaccine are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis. Polio vaccine
provide the best protection against polio, or poliomyelitis, a crippling and potentially deadly disease. Polio vaccine has two types. Inactivated poliovirus given by injection(IPV) and a weakened poliovirus given by mouth (OPV). Getting th recommended does of the polio vaccine is an extremely important part of keeping the Philippines polio-free. Most adults do not need polio vaccine because they were already vaccinated as children. If the person getting the vaccine has any severe, life- threatening allergies and if the person getting the vaccine is not feeling well, they should not get polio vaccine because it can affects in the body. With any medicine, including vaccines, there is a chance of side effects. There are usually mild and go away in their own, but serios reaction are also possible. Some people who get IPV get a sore spot where the shot was given. IPV has not been known to cause serious problems, and most people not have any problems with it.
Polio vaccine a vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis. For me, I will
agree in IPV than OPV because IPV is safer than OPV. Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) is a weakened poliovirus given by mouth. Some of the OPV can cause complications in our body while the IPV is injected and it direct to its destination. So if your cities nor barangay recommending IPV we should take it so that Philippines may zero in polio vaccines.
