A. Hello ma’am If you already done a vaccination for the same it is not necessary to go for the drops but I can only tell you the doctors normally say if you are getting an opportunity to get the drops also then get it done because you know it is just an additional dosage to the child nothing else even if you do not get it done then it is not going to make any difference
