Do I need to give my baby the government polio drops if they have already received their routine vaccinations?

Yes, it is recommended that all children between 0 and 5 years receive the oral polio drops during government-mandated pulse polio drives, regardless of their routine vaccination status. The oral vaccine (OPV) acts as a supplement to the injectable (IPV) vaccine, providing an extra layer of protection against the virus. It is a standard public health measure to ensure comprehensive coverage for all children in this age group.
