Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Correct Vaccine-derived poliovirus is a documented variant of poliovirus that originates from the strain used in the oral polio vaccine (OPV).

On rare occasions, in under-immunized populations, the excreted vaccine virus can circulate, undergo genetic changes, and potentially revert to a form capable of causing paralysis. This is known as circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV). Since 2000, over 10 billion doses of OPV have been administered globally, resulting in 24 cVDPV outbreaks in 21 countries, with fewer than 760 cases. Context – A vaccine-derived polio case has been confirmed in a two-year-old child from Tikrikilla, Meghalaya.
