What Does IPV Stand For?

IPV stands for Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine

IPV, or Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine, is a vaccine used to protect against poliomyelitis, a highly infectious viral disease caused by the poliovirus. The IPV is composed of inactivated (killed) viruses, which stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies without causing the disease. Administered via injection, IPV is essential in global immunization efforts to eradicate polio, providing a safe and effective means of preventing the spread of the virus.
