Yes, infants in the United States are vaccinated for polio. A primary series of IPV consists of three properly spaced doses, usually given at two months, four months, and 6-18 months. A booster dose is given at 4-6 years (before or at school entry).
IPV is given as a shot in the arm or leg.
OPV is given as an oral liquid. OPV is no longer used in the United States, but is still given in other parts of the world where polio is common.
