Can Overdose Of Oral Vaccine Cause Side Effects For Child?

Hi Dr. I have a daughter, today I took her to give her the oral Polio vaccin, but they made a terrible mistake at the hospital, the nurse gave her the vaccin using a syringe (without the needle), and after the first drop, she pressed the syringe to give her the second drop, but the syringe gave a "LOT" of the vaccin inside my daughter's mouth, and my daughter took the whole amount of the liquid inside. I'm VERY MUCH worried about what the vaccin may cause? bad effects? I fear my daughter will be a polio patient. Please answer me in full detailed, what a Polio vaccin overdose might causes?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Oral polio vaccine contains live attenuated polio viruses.
They are capable of inducing immunity but incapable of producing disease,
Even if the dose is more nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
