How effective is ipv compared to opv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Polio vaccine: If an adult is at increased risk of exposure and has never been vaccinated against polio, he or she should receive three doses of IPV, the first two doses given 1-2 months apart, and the third 6-12 months after the second.
