Question
My baby was three months old when they received the oral polio vaccine and started breastfeeding. Another dose was administered fifteen days later. Will this have any effect on the baby?
Answer
The oral polio vaccine, also known as the polio vaccine sugar pill, is typically administered to infants starting at two months old, with one pill per dose, administered three times consecutively, with an interval of at least 28 days between each dose. A booster shot is recommended at four years old. Vaccinations can also be given to other age groups as needed. If there are no severe side effects such as fever or vomiting after vaccination, observation and continuation of the vaccination process can be done. Remember to keep up with the vaccination schedule to ensure the vaccine’s maximum effectiveness.
