Question: Dear XXXXXXX

How are you??

My baby XXXX is doing well only sometimes she does not poop for 6-7 days & few days ago she started crying continously at midnight. we had to visit the Dr. immediately wherein Dr. said it is due to gastric problem After some days she had cold & was advised Axbex & caulicad.. now she is fine.
XXXX was given vaccination of oral polio vaccine on 31-Jan-2015 last time.However there is a polio vaccine day today at all the booths & hospitals. Should we give it to her or should we follow the Vaccination scheduler??

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Thanks for writing to me once again.

I am doing good, how are you?

Feel happy to listen that now baby is doing good.

You should definitely take part in the pulse polio program and give your baby polio drops.

As your baby vaccination dates are close, so you should consult her treating doctor whether she require oral polio drop or not.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.
