Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV)

The Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) is given to infants as part of the routine immunization schedule to protect against poliovirus. Administered as an injectable vaccine, IPV is typically given in three doses, starting at 6 weeks of age. It is essential in preventing polio, a disease that can cause paralysis and even death. IPV provides long-lasting immunity, and its global use is critical to polio eradication efforts, ensuring that the disease no longer poses a widespread threat
