Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My school nurse is pressuring me to give my 11 year old son another Polio dose coz he had his 5th doze before he turned 4. I completed all vaccines according to the chart they provide at childbirth and he has taken all his 5 dozes before he turned 4 and thats how they do it here in QATAR.I dont know what to do. Its been 6 years now and they realized it now??
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
I suggest you approach the pediatrician in Qatar and do as they say. This I am suggesting because the vaccination schedule is different for different countries as far as polio vaccine is concerned. The government health authorities are the best people to decide on that.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
