Dear user, the vaccine is extremely safe. Nothing to worry. But if you have a bleeding disorder or have had any allergic reaction to a vaccine taken previously, you should not take the vaccine as it will have side effects. Good luck. You can consult me for more doubts and medications regarding this by clicking on my photo and booking a consultation online, however if you found my answer helpful, please leave a thanks /good feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.

Polio vaccine is a must. We are going to be free from this crippling disease due to vaccine. In few years we will not be required to give oral polio vaccine.
