Dear friend ,your query is genuine .Its true that IPV is superior to OPV .But understand that OPV provides good enough immunity to the extent that we have reached a stage of eradication of polio from India with it's use. Get next doses whenever IPV is available. Till then relax n follow OPV as per schedule .
