Hello Mr. lybrate-user. The pulse polio is meant for herd immunity against polio. Your son would have received the required doses of poilo vaccine if his immunization schedule is up-to-date. Still giving pulse polio dose is also important as it gives herd immunity and helps the society/nation to remain polio free. Take care.
