Coffee with the Polio Experts

To eradicate polio, we need to stop all strains of the virus, including vaccine-derived polioviruses. This outstanding series, published by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) explains the differences between the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV), the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV), the complex issues involved in vaccinating every child. It helps us realize why the eradication of this disease is SO very difficult.
