Pulse polio is for all children 0 to 5 years. Although individual child will not be affected by skipping but maximum number of children must be given polio vaccine so that herd immunity can be developed to prevent spread of infection. By the way why you want to skip.

This year Pulse polio is being suspended because of Covid vaccination. If the child has taken previous doses of Polio it can be skipped. Nothing to worry
