How Biopolio Products work
Polio Vaccine contains inactivated (killed) viruses of all three poliovirus types (I, II & III). It works by provoking the the immune system to produce antibodies (proteins), without actually causing a disease. In the event of infection, these antibodies prevent the spread of the virus to the brain and protect against paralysis.

Frequently asked questions about Polio Vaccine
Q. When should Biopolio Vaccine be given?
Children are usually advised 4 doses of Biopolio Vaccine. The first dose is given at age of 2 months and then the next doses are given at 4 months, 6–18 months and 4–6 years, respectively. However, sometimes Biopolio Vaccine is given in a combination vaccine along with other vaccines. In this case, a child might receive a fifth dose of Biopolio Vaccine. Adults, on the other hand, do not need to get vaccinated if they have already been vaccinated as a child.
Q. What is Biopolio Vaccine used for?
Biopolio Vaccine contains live attenuated poliovirus (strain types 1, 2 and 3) and is intended for polio prophylaxis in infants 6-12 weeks of age, all unimmunized children up to 18 years of age and high-risk adults. Adults, however, should receive the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV).
Q. What are the different types of polio vaccines?
Polio vaccines are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio). There are two types of polio vaccines, one is inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) which is given by injection and the other is weakened oral poliovirus vaccine(OPV) given by mouth.
Q. Is Biopolio Vaccine necessary?
Yes, polio virus attacks the nervous system which can lead to paralysis, especially of lower limbs. Therefore, it is important to get Biopolio Vaccine as it provides protection against this virus.
Q. Is Biopolio Vaccine better than inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV)?
No, IPV is considered more effective than Biopolio Vaccine. Although, it is expensive and relatively difficult to administer. It was seen that giving Biopolio Vaccine alone led to more cases of polio when compared to Biopolio Vaccine because it is a live form of the virus. Therefore, in order to prevent polio outbreaks, Biopolio Vaccine is the preferred form of polio vaccine.
