But before that, this is a tweet from the OWWA administrator Hans Cacdac:

The advisory about the polio vaccine is very clear, it even provides whom to contact if you need more information. Aside from that, you have in your hand the most powerful tool to help you clear your doubts, you can reach the concern government agencies to ask clarifications.
