Switch Vaccination injection
Hello Doctors,
My Baby is 3 months old. I am having question related to my baby vaccination. In 6th week we gave easy six, in 10 th week we switched to Infanrix Hexa because of lockdown availability of easy six was not there.
Now for 14th week we are thinking to switch again for Easy Six as I painfull vaccination help baby to increase immune system.
Is this safe? What is your recommendation? Do I need to think about painfull easy six as it will increase immune system, or will I go with Hexa as I should not have to switch?
