About Poliovirus Vaccine.

The poliovirus vaccine class comprises immunizing biological agents indicated for the active prevention of poliomyelitis, an acute viral infection that can cause irreversible muscle weakness, flaccid paralysis, and death.

Available primarily as inactivated poliovirus vaccines administered via injection or as live-attenuated oral poliovirus formulations, these vaccines present poliovirus antigens to the immune system.

This exposure stimulates humoral immunity, producing neutralizing antibodies that prevent wild or circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus types from invading the central nervous system.

Formulated either as standalone products or as components of multivalent pediatric combinations, these vaccines serve as the essential cornerstone of global polio eradication and routine childhood immunization programs.
