Hi for my daughter, for 6 months vaccine only injection is given. Do we need to give the oral polio drops as well?

The majority of people infected with polio virus do not develop paralysis and remains healthy, however they are capable of carrying polio virus in their intestine and spreading it. The polio virus spreads through contaminated water and food, so when individuals do not have intestinal immunity, the polio virus multiplies in the gut and is excreted by the infected person. Polio vaccination is safe for children.
