After receiving the vaccine, nonimmune individuals shed the virus through pharyngeal secretions during 1 to 3 weeks, and through feces during 1 to 6 weeks.

In 2005, in order to enhance the global efforts for the eradication of poliovirus in certain settings, the monovalent polivirus vaccine was re-introduced. The monovalent vaccine has higher immunogenicity for a certain serotype, when compared to the polyvalent kind, due to the absence of interference with other serotypes.  Additionally, the monovalent vaccine also provides a more focused approach in settings of single serotype outbreak.<ref name="pmid11462191">{{cite journal| author=Cáceres VM, Sutter RW| title=Sabin monovalent oral polio vaccines: review of past experiences and their potential use after polio eradication. | journal=Clin Infect Dis | year= 2001 | volume= 33 | issue= 4 | pages= 531-41 | pmid=11462191 | doi=10.1086/321905 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11462191  }} </ref><ref name="pmid18923170">{{cite journal| author=el-Sayed N, el-Gamal Y, Abbassy AA, Seoud I, Salama M, Kandeel A et al.| title=Monovalent type 1 oral poliovirus vaccine in newborns. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2008 | volume= 359 | issue= 16 | pages= 1655-65 | pmid=18923170 | doi=10.1056/NEJMoa0800390 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18923170  }} </ref>

Overview

Vaccination is the main form of prevention for poliomyelitis. Two types of the vaccine are available: an inactivated form (IPV), and a live-attenuated form (OPV). IPV is the current vaccine in the United States, contains all 3 serotypes of poliovirus and should be administered in 4 doses. The immune response to the vaccine produces antibodies against the 3 serotypes, which are present in 100% of the cases after the 3rd dose. The live-attenuated form may contain all serotypes of the virus or be given in the monovalent form. OPV immunization leads to maintenance of antibodies in circulation for up to 5 years. The monovalent form of OPV is useful to strengthen the immune response towards a specific serotype, or in cases of single serotype outbreak.

Prevention

Vaccination

As a result of the introduction of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) in the 1950s, followed by oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) in the 1960s, poliomyelitis control has been achieved in numerous countries worldwide, including the entire Western Hemisphere.[1][2][3] Two forms of the vaccine are available, the Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV) and the Live-Attenuated Poliovirus Vaccine (OPV). In 1955 the Salk IPV was introduced, leading to an important reduction of endemic and epidemic poliomyelitis. However, this form of the vaccine showed low potency, since 17% of the infants who had received the vaccine, developed paralytic poliomyelitis.[4] The OPV vaccine was introduced in 1962, as a monovalent vaccine, and the trivalent form was made available in 1964. This form of the vaccine was rapidly accepted in developing countries, due to:[5]

Because of the risk of developing paralytic poliomyelitis with the OPV, developed countries only use the IPV form of the vaccine.[1]

Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine

Vaccine containing the inactivated and more potent forms of the virus. IPV vaccine contains all 3 serotypes of the polivirus, and may be administered concomitantly with other routine vaccines or simply as trivalent IPV. IPV should be administered in 4 doses, at the 2nd, 4th, and between the 6th and the 18th month of life, and than between the 4th and 6th year of life.[1][6]

The vaccine leads to the formation antibodies against the 3 serotypes of virus, after the 2nd dose in 99% of cases, and after the 3rd dose in 100% of cases.[7][8] After the 3rd dose of the vaccine, antibody titers for serotypes 1 and 3 are higher in IPV, when compared to OPV, and similar for serotype 2.[9] Antibody titers may persist in circulation in some cases during 5 years.[10] However the efficacy of the first two doses of IPV is thought to be inferior to the same two doses of OPV.[11]

Children immunized with the IPV, when exposed to the live poliovirus, were more prone to shed greater amount of the virus in feces, and for a more extended period, when compared to children immunized with OPV. This indicated a greater tendency to asymptomatic poliomyelitis and to transmission of the virus in these individuals.[12][13]

Oral Poliovirus Vaccine

Live-Attenuated Poliovirus Vaccine

The live-attenuated poliovirus vaccine (OPV) is not available in the United States, however it is still used in other countries. The intestinal immunity induced by the virus in the vaccine is thought to be identical to the one caused by the natural virus.[14] Commonly, after the first dose of OPV, children show the following seroconversion rates:[15]

  • Serotype 1 - 50%
  • Serotype 2 - 85%
  • Serotype 3 - 30%

On the second month after the third dose of OPV, the antibody prevalence to serotypes 1, 2 and 3 is > 96%.[8][16] Vaccine immunization leads to maintenance of antibodies in circulation for up to 5 years. Environmental re-exposure to the vaccine virus is thought to contribute to the persistence of antibodies in the population.[17][18] Following immunization with OPV, immunoglobulin A against the virus may be found in pharyngeal and duodenal secretions, between the 1st and 3rd weeks after administration, and may persist for more that 5 years.[19][20]

After receiving the vaccine, nonimmune individuals shed the virus through pharyngeal secretions during 1 to 3 weeks, and through feces during 1 to 6 weeks. This shedding of the virus is considered positive, particularly in areas of poor vaccination, since it may contribute to the immunization of the community.[21]

Monovalent

The monovalent vaccine, the Sabin oral vaccine, introduced in 1961 consisted of 3 monovalent vaccines. These were later replaced by the trivalent OPV.[22]

In 2005, in order to enhance the global efforts for the eradication of poliovirus in certain settings, the monovalent polivirus vaccine was re-introduced. The monovalent vaccine has higher immunogenicity for a certain serotype, when compared to the polyvalent kind, due to the absence of interference with other serotypes. Additionally, the monovalent vaccine also provides a more focused approach in settings of single serotype outbreak.[23][24]
