Missed IPV-3 Vaccine
Hello Doctor,
From government- baby got vaccinated IPV -1 (6weeks) and IPV-2 (14 Weeks) but there's no IPV-3 in government list and no private doctor suggested to take IPV-3 when I showed them the vaccinated list.
Today I found out by comparing vaccination charts and asked our pediatrician. So he suggested to directly take IPV BOOSTER Vaccine without IPV-3 vaccine. Is it fine to miss IPV-3 and to take IPV Booster dose?
Please suggest. Thank you.

Protection is better if 3 doses and 1 booster are given rather than 2 doses and a booster. Please do not compare govt and IAP schedules. The priorities are different. IAP makes a schedule based on evidence for maximum possible protection of each child. Govt give less doses as it wants to maximum population with minimum cost. Either follow IAP or government schedule. Don't mix up.
