Vaccination schedule

2018-05-12 17:27:01
Hello! My niece went for her 6 week vaccination today. She was injected with a hexavalent vaccine of DTP+HiB+HepB+IPV and got oral drops of Rotavirus. Her doctor however said that she recommends Pneumococcal vaccine after 2 weeks, ie on 8 week. So is this much gap ok? because if we follow this routine then her hexavalents will be on 6, 10 and 14, and Pneumococcal will be on 8, 12 and 16 week. Kindly suggest.
