It's not cervix vaccination madam. It's called HPV vaccination. It prevents against cervical cancer. It's mainly for girls though it can be given to boys too. There are two kinds currently available in the market. Gardasil and Cervarix. Either two or three doses to be given depending on the age and type of vaccine. Usually vaccine to be given from 12 years of age to 45 years.

Ipv (injectable polio vaccine) dose is to be given at 8 weeks and 14 weeks (goigovt of india, 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks (indian academy of pediatrics) booster at 18- 24 months. At present in india there is shortage of ipv across the country so 8-12 weeks schedule has been suggested by goi. You can give second dose later but as you have not mentioned age of baby it's difficult to tell how long you can delay it. Generally delay upto 8 weeks is ok.

Polio virus is presently not in active transmission form in india. There are Gere very less chances of Polio infection currently.
And as you told 3 doses given then it is almost sure that your child is completely safe.
Nothing to worry.
Just go for regular vaccination.
