Vaccine query

2019-03-03 17:59:47
My 2.5yr old is seemingly up to date with his vaccinations.however, people from Municipality hospital knocked at our doorstep today and mentioned about some MANDATORY ORAL VACCINE. I was not present at home at that time and the person could not comprehend the vaccine. What are the mandatory vaccinations at this age which are oral.? Has anything new come up?
