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.
