Polio Medications

POLIOVIRUS VACCINE reduces the risk of poliovirus (polio). It does not treat polio. It is still possible to get polio after receiving this vaccine, but the symptoms may be less severe or not last as long. It works by helping your immune system learn how to fight off a future infection.

Pentacel is a moderately priced vaccine used to treat bacterial infections such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, haemophilus influenza type b, and polio. It is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.
