In a lot of countries they give OPV to pregnant women to protect their unborn children so I wouldn’t worry. Here is the relevant WHO paper - page 17 covers OPV. who.int/vaccine_safety/publ...
In summary:
A number of large studies in different countries have demonstrated the safety of oral poliovirus vaccine for infants born to vaccinated women and there is no evidence of increased rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes, despite the fact that OPV could theoretically infect the foetus. However, there remains a small theoretical risk of adverse effects of OPV immunization during pregnancy.
Hope this helps! X
I'm not sure how you would be affected by the vaccine your son had?
