Respected Sir/ Madam thanks for taking out time to slove my query. i am grateful to you. but i want to share the practical problem we faced.newborns on 15 may recieved monovalent vaccine. babies born on subsequent days over the following week did not recieve anything as they were not suppose to recieve routine dose. in our hospital the newborn stay in case of primi mother is 6-7 days. now we called all these babies again after discharge before they complete 2 weeks of life to administer 0 dose polio. hence i wanted to know the policy to be adopted for this type of practical problem in the newborns. i feel keeping the monovalent vials (depending on the number of deliveries)in the hospital sounds to be a better option. please opine. thanking you. with regards Dr. Sangeeta Sawant Check out the answer

Respected Sir/ madam, during the recent pulse polio drive in Mumbai, the monovalent vaccine was used.no child was suppose to recieve the trivalent vaccine in the subsequent week as they would be covered with trivalent vaccine on house to house survey. the newborns were also to recieve the monovalent vaccine. i have a querry whether giving them a trivalent vaccine is a better option for them. In a hospital setting what should be done for those babies born after 15 may and before 21 may as they are not suppose to recieve trivalent opv.they are also less likely to be covered in house to house visit due to hospital stay. please let me know. with regards Dr. Sangeeta Sawant Check out the answer
