Hib vaccine doubts
My kids age is 1 Year 5 months. So far we have given government vaccinations for them and some vaccines which are not available at government side, we went to private hospitals and taken the vaccines there also. Now in 18th month, here at government centres, they are giving DPT 1st booster and OPV booster but not giving HIB 1st booster. So on the day once we have taken DPT and OPV at government centre, can we go to private hospital on the same day to take HIB 1st booster vaccine ? Can some one please clarify on this.
HiB vaccine is not individually available full stop it is advisable to go for combination vaccine for HiB at a private setup if it has not been included as a pentavalent vaccine at 18 months of age.
First confirm from the government set up weather they have given pentavalent vaccine or only DPT vaccine. If pentavalent vaccine has been given then h influenza b vaccine is covered in the pentavalent vaccine but if only DPT booster is given then meet a pediatrician for h influenza B booster.
