Q. #AskTheExpert Hi Doctor, We are giving the vaccinations to our baby as per the chart provided by the hospital where she was born. However we have a confusion regarding the polio vaccines. Polio doses (opv/ipv) are given to her as per the vaccination schedule, so do we still need to give her polio drops when govt health workers come to distribute the polio doses?
