VACCINE POLIOMYELITIS ORAL bOPV

CAUTION

This multidose vaccine is worded and codified by unit (= 1 dose) to make the order easier.

Therapeutic Action

Bivalent live attenuated vaccine containing poliovirus type 1 and type 3

Indications

Prevention of poliomyelitis, in combination with the inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine (IPV).

Since April 2016, bivalent vaccine (bOPV) has replaced trivalent vaccine (tOPV). If you still find tOPV, put it in quarantine immediately (identifying it correctly) and contact your medical department.

The monovalent OPV vaccine (OPV type 2) should only be used in response to outbreaks. In case of any doubt, contact your medical department for advice.

Instructions for use

Bivalent oral polio vaccine = bOPV

Oral suspension in liquid form to be administered on the tongue, with a dropper.

Do not forget to order the dropper together with the vaccine!

Orders are always done in number of doses and not in number of vials! (See Preliminary remarks on Vaccines)

Storage

  • Long term storage,: keep the vaccine frozen at -20°C until the expiry date stated on the vial.
  • Short-term storage (field level): keep refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C - Protect from sunlight
  • The vaccine vial monitor (VVM) is mandatory on each vaccine.
  • Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for information on the application of the open vial policy.

Caution! From the moment the vaccine is defrosted, its shelf life is reduced to 6 months and its expiry date must be modified. Check with your procurement centre how to modify the expiry date!
