What is the vaccination schedule for the polio vaccine?
Because of the risk of developing polio from a first dose of the OPV, our office recommends getting the first two doses of the IPV followed by two doses of OPV. Newborn dosing schedule: • Dose #1 at 2 months • Dose #2 at 4 months • Dose #3 at 12-18 months • Dose #4 at 4-6 years Older children who have never been vaccinated against polio should be vaccinated. Call our office for an appointment. * The C.D.C. and A.A.P. recommend starting Hepatitis B series at 2 months and 6 months, respectively, for children without risk factors for Hepatitis B disease. See the Hepatitis B page for more information.
