Need to know about the Newer Vaccination
Hi Doc,
I have twins female babies about to turn a year old now, we have got the regular vaccination done til 9 months. However we need to know about the ( Pneumococcal, Influenza ) vaccines. As we have not given it earlier can this be given now? Also we have given the Rotarix vaccine twice ( one in 6 weeks and other in 14th week) 10th week rota has not been given, should we get it now. I need to know this because I don't want to miss any of the vaccination if it is really helpful.
Would be great to you for providing me the info briefly.
Thanks in advance,
A Concerned Mother

As a doctor I appreciate your awareness regarding vaccination. I tell all my patients that we should be proactive as far as recent important vaccines are concerned . Specially pneumococcal and Rita virus vaccine. Coming to rota virus. There are two types of rota, one type should be given in three doses and one type should be given in only two doses. Can u tell me which vaccine was given ( a screenshot) will be wonderful .
Next Steps
Pneumococcal vaccine can be given now . There should be no problem . Just maintain the schedule .
Health Tips
Download an vaccine reminder app on App Store . It will remind u so that u don’t miss the vaccines the next time.
