Q. Hello Doctor, My baby girl is 3months old. She is getting her vaccinations on the regular interval. In that vaccination doctor once said that polio drops is also included as the vaccination is for 6 different things. However, few people said that I should still take my baby to the polio camp giver her oral drops as well.
