Additional Information for Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated
Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated is a type of vaccine that is used to prevent polio, a highly contagious viral infection that can cause paralysis and even death. It is classified under the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
This vaccine is made from inactivated (killed) poliovirus strains, which means that the virus is no longer able to cause the disease. When the vaccine is administered, it stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the poliovirus. This helps the body recognize and fight off the virus if it is encountered in the future.
Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated is typically given as an injection, usually in the arm or leg. It is recommended as part of routine childhood immunization schedules and is also recommended for adults who are at risk of exposure to poliovirus, such as healthcare workers or travelers to areas where polio is still endemic.
It is important to note that Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated is just one of the types of polio vaccines available. There are also oral polio vaccines (OPV) that contain live, weakened poliovirus strains. The choice of vaccine depends on various factors, including the individual's age, health status, and the prevalence of polio in the region.
As with any vaccine, Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated may have potential side effects, although they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects may include soreness or redness at the injection site, mild fever, or fussiness in infants. Serious side effects are rare.
It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for specific information and guidance regarding the use of Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated or any other vaccines.
