Td/IPV(polio) is tetanus, low-dose diphtheria and polio vaccines combined as one injection.
Polio immunisation changed in 2004. The polio vaccine is now combined with DTaP/Hib or Td and given by injection.
Depending on where they live, infants and children should be immunized with one or both forms of the polio vaccines: the Salk inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), which is given by injection, or the Sabin live attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV), ...
You will usually receive the tetanus/diphtheria/polio vaccines during childhood unless you were born before 1958 when the vaccine programmes were introduced.
In the past 40 years, there have been many research studies to see if exposure to SV40 through polio vaccines has caused health problems in humans, including cancer.
Since the development of polio vaccines, the incidence of the disease has been greatly reduced. Polio has been wiped out in a number of countries. There have been very few cases of polio in the Western hemisphere since the late 1970s.
The public has been alarmed by reports of contamination of polio vaccines given between 1955 and 1963 by a virus known as SV40.
Because of the widespread use of polio vaccines, wild poliovirus (i.e. not due to the vaccine) has not been found in the Western Hemisphere since 1991.
This was an issue with the early oral polio vaccines, but is generally not a problem with current live vaccines, which are much safer than the virus they protect against.

Who gets Poliovirus infection?
Poloimyelitis (polio) is found worldwide but its prevalence has decreased dramatically following improvements in sanitation, hygiene and the wide-spread use of polio vaccines.
There have been — and will continue to be — improvements (such as those that have already been made to the DTaP and polio vaccines, for example) that will minimize potential side effects and ensure the best possible safety standards.
It may also infect humans, and was found in some polio vaccines tested in the early 1960s. Although the virus has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals, there is no evidence that it causes cancer in people.
