Hiiii.... Dont worry...there is nothing like it should be pentaxim... You can give hexaxim or pentaxim based on your consultant.. Hexaxim will contain extra hepatitis b vaccine... You can give hexaxim on 6,10,14 weeks... Or else you can give hexaxim on 6th week, pentaxim on 10th nd 14th week + hepatitis b vaccine in 6th month... Both are acceptable...

10th week vaccine is the same as 6th week Hexaxim is a combination of DPT-HIB-IPV-HEP B Better go for that in addition to Prevanar and Rotasure
