There is no evidence that oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) protects people against infection with COVID-19 virus. A clinical trial addressing this question is planned in the USA, and WHO will evaluate the evidence when it is available. In the absence of evidence, WHO does not recommend OPV vaccination for the prevention of COVID-19. WHO continues to recommend OPV as part of essential immunization services to prevent poliomyelitis and as part of global polio eradication efforts.

There are experimental signals from various studies over the years that OPV has non-specific effects on the immune system. These effects have not been well characterized and their clinical relevance is unknown. Such non-specific effects may not be limited to OPV, as other live vaccines have also been associated with non-specific protective effects (such as BCG vaccine against tuberculosis). Non-live vaccines in contrast do not seem to have the same effects.

The exact mechanism of non-specific protection induced by live vaccines needs to be elucidated further. Clinical studies could begin immediately because the vaccines in question are licensed and have an excellent safety record. Clinical trials involving off-label use of various drugs licensed for other indications are currently underway. The existing scientific rationale suggests that the same should be done for OPV and other live vaccines. A study is currently being discussed with various partners and vaccine manufacturers, including the US FDA, the outcomes of which will be carefully assessed to determine potential use in the context of the spread of SARS-CoV2 until the time when specific vaccines and antiviral therapies are ready.

The best evidence is from an OPV clinical trial conducted in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. In the trial, more than 60,000 children received OPV while 25,000 received placebo (sugar water). Unexpectedly, there was a 75 percent reduction in flu cases among the OPV group compared to the placebo group.

The vaccine costs pennies and is easy to give (many of you may remember it as the drops on a sugar cube). But, is it safe? Over 10 billion doses have been given around the world demonstrating it’s extremely safe.

The news about children and COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, had been largely good: Kids can get seriously sick, but they rarely do. They can spread the disease, but they do it less than adults. Study after study—in China, Iceland, Australia, Italy, and the Netherlands—has found that children get less sick and are less contagious.

After all, OPV which can induce immunity to three types of the polio virus – reduced mortality or sped up recovery from other viral diseases, like the flu and genital herpes. Polio vaccination in children has also been linked to lower rates of ear and respiratory infections as well as diarrhoea, all of which can be caused by bacteria and viruses.

Last week, scientists at Rockefeller University in New York found that most people who recovered from Covid-19 without going into hospital did not make many killer antibodies against the virus.

“That’s what is particularly challenging,” says Stanley Perlman, a veteran coronavirus researcher at the University of Iowa. “If the natural infection doesn’t give you that much immunity except when it’s a severe infection, what will a vaccine do?
