4.4   Special warnings and precautions for use

Polio Sabin One and Three (oral) should under no circumstances be injected.
Polio Sabin One and Three (oral) does not prevent the appearance of or modify the course of the disease in subjects already infected with wild Type 1 or Type 3 viruses.

Vaccination with Polio Sabin One and Three (oral) should be postponed in subjects suffering from an acute severe febrile illness or in a case of persistent diarrhoea or vomiting. However, the presence of a minor infection, such as a cold, is not a contraindication for vaccination.

Since diarrhoea and/or vomiting (as well as gastro-intestinal infections) may interfere with the administration of Polio Sabin One and Three (oral), the dose received will not be counted as part of the immunization schedule and should be repeated after recovery.

The attenuated poliomyelitis viruses Types 1 and 3 multiply in the gut. The faecal excretion of the vaccinal virus may persist for several weeks and may also be transmitted to people in contact with the vaccinee; it is therefore prudent to recommend people in contact with the vaccinee to observe strict personal hygiene.

Non-immune people in close contact with a recently vaccinated subject may very rarely be at risk of paralysis connected with the vaccination of the contact.

Whenever Polio Sabin One and Three (oral) is administered to an individual, it is good clinical practice to offer immunization to susceptible close contacts (such as unvaccinated parents) at the same time.

As with any vaccine, a protective immune response may not be elicited in all vaccinees.

Previous vaccination with IPV is not a contraindication for the use of Polio Sabin One and Three (oral).

Effects on Driving

4.7   Effects on ability to drive and use machines

The effects of the Polio Sabin One and Three (oral) vaccine on the ability to drive and use machines have not been studied.


However, based on the known side effects, it is unlikely that the vaccine has an effect on the ability to drive and use machines.
