IPV not given at 10th week
My son is 14 weeks old. At 6 th week he was given 1. Easy six 2. Synflorix and 3. Rotavirus vaccine.
But at 10 th week his paed gave him 1. Easy four 2. Synflorix and 3. Rotavirus vaccine
I shifted my location recently and here the paed told me that at 10 th week easy six should have been given because easy four does not contain IPV. So he gave easy six along with synflorix and rotavirus at 14 th week and asked me to get OPV at 6th month along with other vaccines.
So is there a problem as he did not received IPV at 10 th week. Kindly help, i'm worried

4 doses of OPV and just one dose of IPV is sufficient and results in excellent seroconversion.So no need to worry and do as your paediatrician advised you and give OPV at your next vaccination visit.
