Mannat GMom of a 9 yr 2 m old girl8 years agoA. Polio vaccinations are of 2 types-OPV and IPV. While OPV is mostly given during the polio vaccination drives, IPV is mainly administered by your Paeditrician. It is recommended that each time there is a polio drive you should give your child the OPV dose till he/she turns 5 years old. However, in case you have missed an OPV dose don't worry, you can check with your Paeditrician about the same and they can also administer a dose. In case you have missed an IPV dose check with your Paeditrician also as they will tell you how to proceed.

Anisa Bhatnagar BhatnagarMom of a 11 yr 3 m old child8 years agoA. Polio vaccines are of two kinds, oral and injectable. If injectable has been given but you have missed the oral, you can go to a hospital and give that one as well. Both are important and have to be given. Do not worry if you have missed a dose. But consult a Pediatritian anyway.
