A member asked:
Hi doc;i am almost 22 weeks pregnant and travelled to pakistan.in order to exit pakistan i need to drink two drops of polio vaccination. is it safe???

No: Oral (the type you drink) polio vaccine is a live, albeit, attenuated vaccine. While the risk is low, I still would not agree to this. The shot vaccine which is a killed vaccine is safe. See if you agree to the shot form of the vaccine if that will satisfy their requirement.
