| poliovirus v. live oral |
[USP] a live vaccine containing attenuated poliovirus, types I, II, and III, grown in monkey kidney cell tissue culture and used for immunization against poliomyelitis; administered orally. OPV induces both humoral and intestinal immunity and is excreted in the feces for at least several weeks after immunization. Because it can cause vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis in those vaccinated and also their contacts, it is used only under special circumstances or in countries in which wild-type poliovirus has not been eradicated. OPV should not be administered to immunocompromised individuals or their household contacts. Called also Sabin v.
