The virus spreads from person to person and can invade an infected person's brain and spinal cord, causing paralysis. The first dose of Bi-OPV Oral Vaccine is given at birth. Primary three doses of this vaccine are given at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of child's age. This is followed by two booster doses, one at 16-24 months of age and others at five years of age.
