Mixing Up Of Unknown Medicine With Polio Will That Be Safe ?
My grandaughter, age 4, was taken to her Dr to get vaccinations. There were four vaccinations she was to get but there was a mix up and she recieved a polio boster shot plus another shot (the mistake) that was a combination of polio and something else. Her Dr says no concern, but should we accept that?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It seems two polio shots are given simultaneously.
Even if you have given double the dose by mistake, you need not worry.
Nothing will happen.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
