Is It Safe To Give 2 Doses Of IPV At 4 Weeks Interval To 6 Weeks Baby?
actually my daughter when she was of 6 weeks she was given OPV by my doctor and then in 10th week he gave her IPV and then I came to my native and consulted a different doc and he gave her again IPV in 14 weeks so I wanted to check is it OK to get OPV in 6th week then IPV in 10th week and again IPV in 14th week b coz I read somewhere that if your baby is getting only 2 doses of IPV then there should be atleast a gap of 2 months. I am really worried about this. it would be so kind of you if you can guide me with this

Thanks for the query.
Ipv primary vaccination requires 3 doses, one each at 6weeks, 10 weeks, 14 weeks.
Then booster injections are required, one at 18 months and another at 5-6 years.
Hope i helped you.
