Currently I am living in Chhattisgarh, there is not any Polio vaccination going on as there are nil polio patient. But in my native state WB , there polio vaccination campaign took place in the month of May 23. My daughter received all the due opv's in first 6 months. But from then she didn't receive any due to my transfer. So what should I do? As I have consulted in Chhattisgarh, they are suggesting that opv is replaced by injectible Polio Vaccine which will be given in due course. It is sufficient enough for polio. Please guide us
