Sabin Vaccine

The Sabin vaccine is an oral vaccine used to protect against poliovirus, which can cause paralysis. It contains weakened (attenuated) versions of the virus, prompting the immune system to develop defenses without causing the disease.-administered as drops in the mouth, it’s easy to give and highly effective. The vaccine not only protects individuals but also helps stop the spread of poliovirus in communities, contributing to global efforts to eradicate polio. It has been instrumental in reducing polio cases worldwide, though it is sometimes replaced with inactivated vaccines in certain regions to eliminate very rare vaccine-related side effects.
