Regarding Vaccinations
Hello,
My baby is 1 month old and my pediatric prescribed vaccination of Hepatitis b 2 on exactly the 1 month completion date and rest like DTap, Opav, Hib 1, Rota virus and Pneumococcal in the 6th week. I fail to understand as to why is even Hepatitis b 2 not prescribed in week 6, can I get this vaccination done along with the other vaccinations in week 6. Pls suggest!
Thnx.
