HiI Sir My pedritician has vaccinated my son at 6 weeks today. He gave pentavaccine and PVC vaccine but not given IPV. He gave only OPV. Is it necessary to take IPV also. Can IPV injected after 2 day of vaccination.

Check again if it was hexa instead of penta. If penta then yes you can, but I am afraid, IPV is not available as a single solitary vaccine for quite some time. Next time at 10 and 14 th weeks, discuss with your pediatrician about combo vaccine penta plus IPV. Two doses of IPV may be good enough if IPV is not available separately.
