What is Polio Vaccine ?

Polio Vaccine-

• There is no cure available for Polio and so administration of vaccine for polio becomes very important. Now-a-days, polio vaccine in the form of liquid drops or as sweet tablets is given. As it is given orally so the problem of fever or soreness does not appear.
• Trivalent Oral Polio vaccine is available in our country. It is given when baby is 2-3 months old. 3 doses of the vaccine should be given at fixed duration of 4-8 weeks. Thereafter, dose is given once in a year to increase disease resistance. If oral polio vaccine is not available, then polio injections are given. If the child is suffering from diarrhoea or other viral disease then oral polio vaccine should not be given. It is best to give triple antigen and polio vaccine at the same time.
