There are two types of vaccines against polio -- the inactivated polio vaccine, IPV (pioneered by Jonas Salk, and now available in an "enhanced potency" form, i.e., EP-IPV) and the live, oral polio vaccine, OPV (developed by Albert Sabin). Both vaccines are trivalent; that is, they both contain antigens of all three poliovirus serotypes (1,2, and 3).

Which vaccine(s) can prevent primary, gastrointestinal infection with poliovirus?

 

A. OPV
B. IPV
C. Both
D. Neither
