Vaccination query

2017-10-03 17:15:23
I took my baby's 6 weeks vaccination, they gave HEXAXIM. At 10th week as per vaccination schedule HepB is not needed but HEXAXIM has HepB in it. So I want to change different brand as per the 10th week vaccination schedule, is it safe to choose other brand than HEXAXIM, please suggest.

You can continue with Hexaxim only. Don't give 6 month dose of hepatitis B vaccine. Pentaxim is Hexaxim minus HepatisB, is in shortage/ not available. Giving extra dose of hepatitis B is no problem. Otherwise you can change to regular DTwP combination, but she will get fever and may have pain and swelling.
