What Role Do Vaccinations Play in Polio Reduction?
Vaccinations are the cornerstone of polio eradication efforts. The two primary vaccines used are the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) and the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV). OPV is administered orally and is easy to deliver in mass immunization campaigns, while IPV is given via injection and is used primarily in routine immunization programs. Both vaccines have been instrumental in reducing polio cases globally.
