Yes, you can shift to the government sector for the remaining doses. It is completely okay.
The vaccines given at 6 weeks (Rotavirus, PCV, Pentavalent) are part of the National Immunization Programme, so you can continue the next doses (10 weeks, 14 weeks, etc.) at a government hospital or Anganwadi free of cost.
Important points:
* Carry your baby’s vaccination card.
* Inform them which brands were given (Rotasil, Pneumosil, Pentavac).
* Even if the brand is different in government supply, it is acceptable. The vaccines are interchangeable within the same category.
* Do not repeat the 6-week dose. Continue as per schedule.
There is no problem in shifting between private and government for vaccination, as long as the schedule is followed properly.
