hello doctor,
I have a doubt and fearness regarding my baby vaccination. actually I have taken vaccines for 1.5 and 2.5 month in private hospital. they given penta, rota, and opv for each time. but she didn't give IPV. she had IPV in combination like hexavalent for that she cost 8k. but she don't have seperate IPV. so combination injection is very high and pent rota opv is enough. IPV is optional in India like that private hospital paediatrician told. but in government hospital they are giving IPV is mandatory in my mother card. So iam confused and getting tension. if I take hexavalent in private hospital for 3.5month vaccine schedule they will give 1st dose of IPV. then how and when can I get 2nd dose of IPV.?? or is that ok to take vaccine in government hospital for 3.5 month?? if I take in government hospital means will they give 2nd dose of IPV during 4.5 month separately?? if I take IPV like this is there any problem?? because vaccine schedule is delayed right that's why I am getting tension.. please help me to get correct vaccines for my baby..

Accepted Answer

you have to get either two dosage of injectable polio vaccine subcutaneous dose at the government setup or at least one dosage of injectable polio vaccine at the private setup as the intramuscular dose.
since last one month injectable polio vaccine as a single vaccine is available at the private setup also

Accepted Answer

at present you have to take only one dosage of injectable polio vaccine mandatory. at present injectable polio vaccine is available as a single vaccine also in the private setup will stop the other option would be that you can continue to take ipv at the government set up and that also will do.
