POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. Yes, the SIPV3 (Inactivated Polio Vaccine - IPV3) is typically given as an intramuscular (IM) injection. However, the site of administration may vary:
✔ For infants under 1 year: It is usually given in the anterolateral thigh (upper outer thigh muscle).
✔ For older children (above 1 year): It can be given in the upper arm (deltoid muscle).
At 9 months, if your baby received SIPV3 in the right arm, it is not a major issue, but typically, for younger babies, vaccines are preferred in the thigh for better absorption and fewer side effects.
If your baby has no unusual reaction (like swelling, pain, or fever beyond 1-2 days), there’s nothing to worry about. You can confirm with your pediatrician during the next visit. Let me know if you need more clarification!
