My child is 11 month old. He received his first polio vaccination as OPV at his birth time. Then he got his 2nd polio vaccination (Hexaxim) as IPV after 6 week of his birth. Then due to lack of IPV in India he missed his 2nd dose. He then got his next vaccination after 5 month as OPV. Now he is 11 month old so can he get IPV? Is it safe?
