Hi doctor,
I have a 5 months old baby girl. She was given opv as ipv was not available along with pentavac. Can we get her vaccinated with ipv alone now ,once the dosages are available or is it compulsory to be given in combination with other vaccination

administered whenever local oral polio programme occurs.
