A. pulse polio immunization is extra dosage irrespective of the vaccination schedule as well as the vaccination that is been given to the child.g it is advisable that you get the child vaccinated for polio if the child is gnot having any type of fever at present. simple cough and cold is not a contraindication for polio drops. it is usually available at any government centre that is primary and centre or urban health centre

A. If You got all the vaccination is done then it’s okay if you do not want to go ahead with polio drops in sourcing is not available in your place so that’s completely fine because it is important to cover a polio so even if you’re covering up it with vaccination and that’s fine
