Baby polio drop given twice

2024-06-23 08:22:42
I was given a polio oral drop to my baby in February by the government, but today while I went for another vaccine, my doctor gave him another dose (basically, I forgot to mention that we had given the dose in February). Now I am worried that it will have any side effects on my baby's health.
