18 Months Vaccination Doubts
My kid current age is 18 months. In government centres at 18 months they are giving only DPT and OPV booster vaccines and they are not giving HIB booster.
So we are planning to go private hospital to take these vaccines along with HIB booster also.
As initial 3 DPT vaccines we taken at government centre’s which are painful vaccines. So now at 18 months, at private hospital which DPT booster we need to take for my kid whether it is painful or painless ??
We heard that at private hospitals they are giving combination vaccine(DPT+HIB+IPV). Along with do we need to take OPV also ??
