Brief Answer:

No need to worry

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I assume that you are talking about the Pulse Polio drive that was done yesterday. In case you have missed it, there is nothing to worry. Just make sure to give her the pulse polio drops on the next pulse polio day.

This is independent of the oral polio drops she receives as a part of her regular immunisation schedule.

Irrespective of whether she has received polio drops in January or a day before, you should give polio drops whenever there is a pulse polio drive.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
