Over the past ten years, more than 10 billion doses of OPV have been given to nearly three billion children worldwide. More than 10 million cases of polio have been prevented, and the disease has been reduced by more than 99%. It is the appropriate vaccine through which to achieve global polio eradication. OPV contains attenuated (weakened) polioviruses. On extremely rare occasions, use of OPV can result in cases of polio due to vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) and circulating polioviruses (cVDPVs). For this reason, the global eradication of polio requires the cessation of all OPV in routine immunization, as soon as possible after the eradication of wild poliovirus (WPV) transmission. Phased approach to OPV cessation: the trivalent to bivalent OPV switch: OPV is available in different formulations: Trivalent OPV containing type 1, 2 and 3 serotypes – Bivalent OPV containing type 1 and 3 serotypes – Monovalent OPV containing one serotype (ie type 1, 2 or 3) – A mix of all formulations is used to eradicate polio during supplementary immunization activities (SIAs). Trivalent OPV is the only formulation used in routine immunization programmes. Bivalent OPV is the most widely-used formulation during SIAs to more rapidly interrupt the remaining strains
