💉About the OPV / IPV (Polio Vaccine) Vaccine

Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) and Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) protect against all three types of poliovirus. India has been polio-free since 2011 but immunization continues to prevent re-introduction. OPV is given as drops while IPV is an injection. Under the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP), both types are used.
