I guess you had the doubt because 3doses of hepatitis would have already been given.in that case 6th month hepatitis is not needed.but go for opv and a visit to your doctor at 6months so that development of the baby assessed and complementary feeding can be discussed
Next Steps
if 3 dose of help not given before then it is a must at 6months
