Surveillance for untoward events demonstrated that only when large numbers of people are exposed to a vaccine or drug are adverse reactions identified (Guillain-Barre syndrome with influenza vaccines; paralysis with the Cutter poliovirus vaccine in 1955). Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), a live attenuated poliovirus, interferes with the antibody response to a rotavirus vaccine.
