Missed OPV for my child at birth
Hi Doctor, I have a daughter, she is 14 days old, on 2 nd day in hospital she was given 2 injections BCG and Hepatitis B, at the same time they said she is given polio drops. But on that there were many kids for these vaccinations, and I personally didnt see my baby taking OPV, now I have doubt and very scared what if they have missed giving OPV to my baby. Please suggest what should I do I am worried as it's related to polio. We are from Hyderabad. When I asked again, the nurse said they have given, even missed again they will give on 6 weeks. Is it safe to wait till that time or shall I take her to other pediatrician and get the polio drops immediately.
Please advise. Thank you.
