Sir, My baby boy born on 29.12.2018 and given a BCG & OPV 0 dose on 31.12.2018. Pls find the below attachment. My baby is affected with Jaundice on 31.12.2018 and kept him for observation for a day..  Hepatitis vaccine is usually given as 2, 3, or 4 shots over 1 to 6 months. Infants should get their first dose of hepatitis B vaccine at birth and will usually complete the series at 6 months. My question is why doctor has not given the 1st dose of Hepatitis B1 vaccine at the time of birth.. Pls suggest when it is to be done..
