Design

Cohort

Follow-up

1960-1989

Key result

Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) was associated with a low but stable risk of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis, with 1 case per 2.5 million doses distributed during 1980-1989.

Overview

Low stable VAPP risk with OPV may support surveillance; leaves open benefits of sequential IPV-OPV schedules.

What is the risk of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis following oral poliovirus vaccine administration in the United States?

P
Population
Poliomyelitis cases in the United States reported in national surveillance data from 1960-1989, with a focus on the period 1980-1989.
I
Intervention
Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV)
O
Outcome
Incidence of wild-virus, vaccine-associated, and imported paralytic poliomyelitissafety

Vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis has become the predominant form of the disease in the US, suggesting a sequential vaccination schedule (IPV followed by OPV) may reduce risk.

Cite This Study

Strebel et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Poliomyelitis. Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) was evaluated on Incidence of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP). Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) was associated with a low but stable risk of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis, with 1 case per 2.5 million doses distributed during 1980-1989.
