Question : Hi i have given my daughter oral polio on Sunday by govt. And Monday she had her 10th week vaccine. Is it safe?

Brief Answer:
It is safe - don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi....it is safe. Don't worry. The polio drops you have given is only extra and needs to be given as part of pulse polio immunization. Nothing to worry even if you have given 10th week vaccine the next day
