Hi Doctor,

We are giving the vaccinations to our baby as per the chart provided by the hospital where she was born. However we have a confusion regarding the polio vaccines. Polio doses (opv/ipv) are given to her as per the vaccination schedule, so do we still need to give her polio drops when govt health workers come to distribute the polio doses?

Accepted Answer

All the vaccination should be given according to the vaccination schedule whether the government or IAP schedule and you can discuss with your pediatrician regarding the details of the vaccination.
Pulse polio immunization programme is  provided by the government to all children below 5 years of age. if your child has received polio vaccine before as per the schedule  then also you should give this vaccine se on the the pulse polio day as this is an additional vaccine.
For polio vaccine dates and related query you need to contact your local authorities .
