Re: Baby vaccine brand in civil hospital

Sir/Mam, I got my baby vaccinated in Gurgaon government hospital for rota virus & PCV at 10 week & 14 week. However, due to COVID before we could have got the 3rd dose of vaccine, we travelled to Bihar in my hometown and would stay here for next 6 months. So, could you please let me know: 1) what is the rota vaccine brand available in Gurgaon civil hospital? Here, The options that is available with me is ROTAVAC, ROTASIIL, AND ROTATEQ . 2)Similarly, what is the PCV vaccine brand available in Gurgaon civil hospital? The options that is available with me is Pnueomsil, Synflorix and prevenar. Note that My baby is now 5 months old. And there is no sticker on my vaccine card provided at the government hospital. They mention only the date and I am asking this as I want to get my baby the same vaccine as it was in Gurgaon. FYI, For DPT, HIB and IPV, I got him Hexasim. Thanks in advance.

1. Government hospitals usually give Rotasiil or Rotavac. Please take Rotasiil or Rotavac. Rotateq is not given in govt hospitals. It is too late to start with first dose of rotateq as 3 doses have to be completed by 6 months of age. 2. Changing brand of PCV doesnt make a difference. You can take any one of the. All 3 are considered equal although Pneumosil is relatively new
