The governing board of #Gavi, the international organization that provides #vaccines to #developing #countries, added a new shot to its roster this week that could help to #eradicate #polio worldwide and prevent its resurgence.
The new vaccine does not contain the live viruses that are in the polio vaccines currently used in some low- and middle-income countries. It adds what’s known as an #inactivated #polio component into a multifaceted shot that is already being used to protect young children against five other dangerous infections. A similar shot is already available in the United States and some European countries.
