A member asked:
My children were accidentally vaccinated with measles and oral polio twice. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: Measles as a single vaccine has not been available for general use in the us in decades.The oral polio vaccine was replaced in the us by the injectable formulation in the 1990's. The MMR and polio are safe vaccines and an extra dose has no particular negative consequences to anyone unless they had a specific allergy to a component of the vaccine.
