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.

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?
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.
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.
