Ipv vaccine
Ipv isn’t available in separate form even In govt hospitals and the rest of the vaccine of conjugate ones are already given to my child by private hospitals, so how do I give him ipv. And the private doc saying that it’s ok if ipv isn’t given as 5 doses of opv is given. Plz help as I really want him to get ipv. Can it be given at 18 months in form of hexaxim.

IPV is in global shortage because of demand supply mismatch. Continue giving opv till you get total 3 dosage of IPV!
