Pulse polio programme

I get my one year old daughter vaccinated as per the schedule given by the hospital. She has been given oral polio drops as per the schedule. Now is it essential for me to get her polio drops as per the government pulse polio programme or it is not needed since she is getting regularly vaccinated as per schedule. Please clarify?
