Don’t worry.
Your kid is fully protected against polio.
You can get your kid vaccinated with oral polio drops anytime before 5 years of age once you arrive in India.
Thanks

Greetings
Your child is fully protected because three doses of Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) provide excellent immunity against all polio strains.Many regions rely exclusively on the injectable IPV series, meaning oral polio vaccine drops (OPV) are not strictly required for direct health protection.However, because you are traveling from the Middle East, you must consult your pediatrician regarding potential country-specific border requirements.Certain international destinations enforce mandatory travel mandates and require a documented supplemental booster dose of OPV prior to entry.
