Study links the usage of oral polio vaccines with lower incidence of COVID-19

A study published in the journal PLOS ONE showed how countries using oral polio vaccine have a lower incidence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) when compared to those using inactivated polio vaccine – suggesting that the oral vaccine may either prevent the infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at the individual level or slow down the transmission in the community.
