Immunization in first week.

2018-09-27 14:45:24
Which vaccines are to be given in first week... Our doctor has only given OPO(Oral polio) and BCG on 2nd day of birth. But I have learned from various sources that a birth dose of hepatitis B should also be administered. On consultation, doctor is saying that hepB will be administered on 6th week.. please advice

There r various schedule of administration of hepatitis B. Some start from birth. Some from 6 weeks. As long as your wife is hep B negative on test... don't worry. 6 week is also fine
