IPV contains what type of poliovirus?

Explanation:
IPV uses inactivated poliovirus. The virus is killed so it cannot replicate, but its antigens remain intact to train the immune system. The vaccine includes all three poliovirus serotypes that are inactivated, usually with formaldehyde, so vaccination cannot cause polio. This prompts the production of neutralizing antibodies that protect against paralysis if exposed later. Unlike a live attenuated vaccine (which uses weakened virus and can rarely cause illness or shed) or vaccines that use only viral parts (subunit or recombinant protein), IPV delivers the whole inactivated virus to elicit a safe, effective antibody response.
