Overview Biopolio B1/3 Oral Vaccine

Biopolio B1/3, an oral polio vaccine, safeguards against poliomyelitis, a severe and potentially fatal infectious disease caused by the poliovirus. This virus transmits person-to-person, potentially affecting the brain and spinal cord, leading to paralysis. The vaccination schedule begins at birth with the initial dose, followed by three primary doses at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age. Two booster shots are then administered; one between 16 and 24 months and another at age five. Participation in national polio immunization campaigns is also crucial. Multiple doses ensure comprehensive protection. While overdose is not a concern and side effects are rare, some children may exhibit vomiting, fever, or diarrhea. Report any such symptoms to your child's physician immediately.

Biopolio B1/3, an oral vaccine using weakened poliovirus types 1 and 3, protects infants (6-12 weeks), unimmunized children (under 18), and high-risk adults against polio. Adults, though, should receive the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV).
Poliomyelitis (polio) is prevented through vaccination. Two polio vaccines exist: the injectable inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) and the oral weakened poliovirus vaccine (OPV).
Poliovirus infects the nervous system, potentially causing paralysis, primarily in the legs. The Biopolio B1/3 Oral Vaccine offers crucial protection against this debilitating disease.
