Yes, the live vaccine would prevent people from going abroad and coming home as a silent carrier, but the live vaccine leaves open the possibility of VAPP, meaning of the tens of millions of Americans who would need the live vaccine, some of them would develop VAPP and perhaps spread it to their community, which now generally has no immunity to polio if we aren't getting any polio vaccinations.
