Additional Information for Modified Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated
Modified Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated is a type of vaccine that is used to protect against polio. 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 by inactivating the poliovirus, which means that the virus is no longer able to cause disease. However, it still stimulates the immune system to produce an immune response, which helps protect against future infections with the poliovirus.
Modified Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated is typically administered through injection, usually into the muscle. It is recommended for both children and adults, and is usually given as part of routine immunization schedules.
It is important to note that this vaccine is different from the oral polio vaccine (OPV), which contains live, weakened poliovirus. Modified Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated is considered safer for individuals with weakened immune systems or those who are at risk of spreading the virus to others.
As with any vaccine, there may be potential side effects, such as pain or redness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. However, serious side effects are rare.
It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for specific information and guidance regarding vaccines and immunizations.
