Inactivated polio vaccine is given to children as part of their routine infant vaccinations during their first 18 months or so.
prevention consists of vaccination. There are two polio vaccines available; inactivated (Salk) poliovirus vaccine, and oral poliovirus vaccine.
Yes, oral polio vaccine (OPV) and inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) can be given at the same time in a single vaccination visit. This can benefit by providing additional protection against polio.
After the development of the inactivated injectable vaccine in 1955 and the live oral vaccine in 1961, the number of polio cases dropped dramatically. In 1960, there were 2,525 paralytic cases reported, but by 1965 this number had fallen to 61.
Albert Sabin founded the oral polio vaccine and the vaccine was licensed in 1962.
The first oral polio vaccine, administered as a liquid drop applied to a sugar cube, was developed by Albert Sabin. It was licensed for use in the US in 1962, seven years after Jonas Salk's inactivated virus vaccine was licensed.
Albert Sabin invented the oral live attenuated virus vaccine.
To protect against polio.

Full form of OPV Oral Polio Vaccine.
The first dose of the polio vaccine, developed by Dr. Jonas Salk, was administered in 1954 during a large-scale field trial. This inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) was introduced to combat poliomyelitis, which had caused widespread outbreaks and paralysis. The vaccine was proven effective, leading to mass immunization efforts that dramatically reduced polio cases worldwide. Subsequently, an oral polio vaccine (OPV) developed by Dr. Albert Sabin became widely used in the early 1960s.
Jonas Salk came up with the first injectable polio vaccine, followed by Albert Sabin who came up with the first oral polio vaccine.
