Child vaccination
My child is 2 month old now. I have taken her first dose of vaccines at 6th week. ipv was not available so I missed. now I will take 2nd dose of 10th week but according to Gujarat government; they cannot give ipv at 10th week. They are giving at 6th week and 14th week only. Pls guide that how many doses are required for infants? Also let me know the necessary gap between two ipv doses. What to do in such cases as ipv is not available separately..?
