Hello. Injectable polio is not available since many months. Nothing to worry. Yiu can give oral polio drops instead of IPV according to schedule. In addition to this, give polio drops given by government every 6 months on pulse polio days. Thank you!

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.

you can club with any of your next vaccination date ..however isolated ipv is not available so far in our country at the movement , it comes as a combination vaccine . remember no vaccination is considered missed if you would administer it at kater date also..it is just counted as delayed ! so go ahead and protect the disease before it occurs.
