Inactivated polio vaccine(IPV)
The document summarizes key information about inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), including that it is made from killed poliovirus strains, it produces antibodies but not intestinal immunity, it requires multiple doses for protection, and it carries no risk of vaccine-associated paralysis unlike the live oral polio vaccine (OPV). IPV is recommended for routine use in industrialized countries where the risk of vaccine-derived polio is greater than wild poliovirus, while OPV is used to contain outbreaks and in immunization programs in developing countries.
