Hello. My baby is about to be 6 month old. My pediatrician gave him OPV vaccine as per schedule. I got the whole DPT vaccination done, so IPV was not given in that combo.. the doctor told that IPV can be taken anytime before 2 yrs of age. Can i get the IPV vaccine now? at 6 month age ..and is it painful like DPT?
