A member asked:

We have 6months old baby and gave him opv ten days ago. we need to give polio drops again tomorrow in government organised drive? thanks. i am india

Polio vaccine: Should not be a problem. You can either give him the new drops or tell them that he has already received them. Either way he will be fine and develop a good immune response. Best wishes.
