Father of a 3 yr 9 m old boy3 years ago

Q.

#AskTheExpert I would like to know from you regarding OPV & IPV. As per the hospital chart at 6th, 10th and 14th weeks there was no OPV scheduled. however as per the national immunization schedule OPV was mentioned at those visits. I knew that India is successfully eradicated POLIO. Whether OPV as per National immunization schedule or polio vaccination days is mandatory or not? please do provide your valuable guidance on this.

A. 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 schedultre then also you should give this vaccine 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 .

Q. For my baby 6th week vaccine i had opted for Pentavalent vaccine+ IPV (i.e. Pentavac+Poliovac). Is it okay if i move to Hexavalent vaccine (i.e. easy 6) for 10th and 14th week considering it reduces the number of injections? Also as per vaccination chart HepB is not there for 10th and 14th week. but are there any pentavalent vaccine with IPV and excluding HepB?
