Yes, your baby should receive the Pulse Polio (OPV) drops on the campaign day even if OPV was given recently as part of the routine vaccination schedule. Pulse Polio doses are additional and do not replace or interfere with routine vaccine doses. Since your baby is medically stable, it is safe to give the Pulse Polio drops.

Yes, your baby must receive the Pulse Polio drops on Sunday, June 28, 2026.The image indicates she received her routine DTwP2, OPV2, Hib 2, and Rotavirus 2 vaccines on June 22, 2026.National Pulse Polio campaigns are separate, supplemental drives that provide an extra layer of gut immunity.It is completely safe to give these additional drops, even if she had her regular oral polio vaccine just a few days ago.This extra dose does not cause an overdose and is crucial to help maintain community protection.

Yes. Even if your baby received OPV as part of the routine immunization schedule on 22-06-2026, she should still receive Pulse Polio drops during the Pulse Polio campaign if she is eligible. The Pulse Polio dose is an additional supplementary dose and does not replace or interfere with routine vaccinations. Prematurity is not a contraindication.
Next Steps
Take your baby to the nearest Pulse Polio booth on the campaign day and continue all future routine vaccinations as per the immunization schedule.
Health Tips
Carry your child's vaccination card during every visit and follow the corrected age only for developmental assessment—not for the routine immunization schedule unless specifically advised by your pediatrician.
