do children still get polio shots
Polio is a viral infection that can cause permanent paralysis. The inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) is usually given at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6â18 months, and 4â6 years. Though the oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) is still used in many parts of the world, it has not been used in the United States since 2000.
