Summary
Seventy eight paired sera were studied for sero-conversion after oral polio vaccine, in children belonging to the age group 3 months to 3 years. Sero-conversion was highest i.e. 92 3 percent for polio virus 2, 83.3 percent for polio virus 3 and 57.6 per cent for polio virus. The number of triple negative children was reduced to 2.6 per cent from 46.1 per cent after giving 3 doses of oral polio vaccine.
