Can Infant Vaccination be changed?
Last time my 2.5 month old baby was given Rotasiil and Easy six and PCV 13 (6800 INR)
1. Is it okay if next month (3.5 month) my baby gets, Easy Five+ IPV, PCV, Rotasiil? There is huge difference in price. OR
2. Can i go back to Govt Hospital for due vaccination (OPV+Rota+Penta+IPV+PCV)?
Can there be any issue in making these changes?
3. Also, Is it okay to switch to PCV 10 after once PCV 13 has been administered?
Can this be life-threatening?
Plz guide! Lockdown hs led to uncertain future. hence, my query is to do with right cost-saving.

You may get your baby vaccinated from whichever source (hospital/clinic/dispensary). The only drawback of changing vaccines is decreased effectiveness of vaccines.
Its not about what is right or wrong, its about what is best for the baby.
So you may switch to other vaccines, but with an added drawback of decreased effectiveness of vaccines.
