Morphology
trivalent + live + oral + poliomyelitis + vaccine
The phrase is fully compositional: each modifier ('trivalent' = three components, 'live' = biologically active, 'oral' = by mouth) directly specifies properties of the head noun 'poliomyelitis vaccine' (a vaccine against polio). Although technical, the meaning (a vaccine against poliomyelitis that is live, given orally, and covers three strains) follows standard English modifier + noun composition and would be inferable by a learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Trivalent live oral poliomyelitis vaccine is a name that tells you what the medicine does: trivalent means it fights 'three types', live oral means a 'weakened virus' given 'by mouth', and poliomyelitis vaccine means it protects against 'polio'. So the name explains it is a mouth vaccine with a live but weak virus that gives protection against three kinds of polio.
