Hi
My doc is advising to take IPV booster for my child who is 5year 8 months ,In his first year he received 2 booster however since I have shifted to another city the doc here is saying there is no point in giving IPV after 5 years of age.
So kindly advise if it should be taken as a third dose after 5 or not.

He would have taken two primary doses in his first year, not boosters. Booster is recommended at 5 year of age.
