Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV)

Text To Schedule An Appointment

Understanding IPV

The Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV) protects against polio, a highly contagious viral infection caused by the poliovirus. Polio can lead to severe neurological complications, including paralysis and, in some cases, death. The IPV is an inactivated (killed) virus vaccine, which means it cannot cause polio and is safe for all individuals, including those with weakened immune systems. Vaccination with IPV is crucial in preventing the spread of poliovirus and protecting against the disease.

Schedule an Appointment

If you observe these symptoms in your child and are concerned about polio, it is crucial to seek a comprehensive evaluation from a healthcare professional. Scheduling an appointment with us can help in obtaining a proper diagnosis and developing an effective treatment plan to manage your child’s condition and prevent complications. Ensuring your child is vaccinated with IPV is a vital step in protecting them from this potentially devastating disease.
