A member asked:
Why cases of polio do occur in children despite giving the oral polio vaccine(opv)?

Vaccine-related: The reason that the usa switched back to the killed polio vaccine is that, by then, there was no wild-type polio in the country but a handful of cases occurred related to the live, attenuated oral vaccine.
