Polio Vaccine

Polio Vaccine is a combination of inactivated poliovirus strains used to prevent poliomyelitis, also known as polio. This highly infectious viral disease primarily affects children and can lead to paralysis, respiratory failure, and even death. The vaccine is administered in a series of injections, with the first dose typically given at 2 months of age, followed by subsequent doses at specific intervals.
The Polio Vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the poliovirus, providing immunity and preventing infection. It is considered safe and effective, with minimal side effects such as temporary pain or redness at the injection site. The vaccine has played a crucial role in eradicating polio in many countries, and widespread immunization efforts continue to protect global populations against this debilitating disease.
