Confused on vaccine schedule
My son is currently 2 months & 1 week old.
10 days ago his 2nd set of vaccines were given (Dtap/dtwp, hib, OPV & Hepatitis), BUT in doctor's vaccine chart - Rotavirus 1, IPV 1 & PCV 1 is not mentioned.
So, when to give these 3 missed vaccines ?
After 4 weeks of last dose? Or immediately now?
If after 4 weeks then, can we give these missed doses along with the 3rd set of vaccines, which I think will be too many doses in one schedule.

Kindly check with your paediatrician as to what vaccines have been given, make sure if it is missed as IPV is usually given at 6weeks and 14 wks.
As for PCV you can very well start the schedule now and give 3 doses 4 weeks apart.

Dear parents,
It would be better to give vaccine at PHC nearby.
The left vaccine are to be given after 4weeks when you give 10weeks vaccination.
The 3rd dose of these vaccine would be given 4weeks after 14weeks vaccination.
