A. take atleast 2doses of ipv generally At  6,10,14wks ur baby should have  DTP, HiB, Hep. B, and IPV  Plus  Pneumoccocal vaccine Plus  Rotavirus vaccine.  In DTP component if u go for whole cell ie DTwP  It may cause pain fever and sometime swelling at vaccination site (painful vaccination).  In DTP component if u go for accelular ie DTaP It doesn't cause pain fever and swelling at vaccination site(painless vaccination).   Both Vaccine ie whole cell or accelular are equally good and effective

A. Hello, your baby boy is 3 months old and he has received all vaccinations but ipv is not given so if he has received opv then it’s okay let him go his way
