It is true that there is global shortage of IPV. IPV is one vaccine I would be very keen for every baby to have, especially in new scenario where polio has virtually ended in her India. Some government institutions are offering IPV, and at the same time, some private practitioners have old stocks of IPV, which they are using judiciously to immunize maximum number of kids.
Next Steps
Please try looking for IPV at your nearest government health care facilities.

We have wiped polio out of India with OPV. Please have faith in OPV. It will offer your baby robust protection against polio.
