This is what is given everywhere, also penta1- covers 5 vaccines combined (Diphtheria, Pertussis,Tetanus,hepatitis B,Hemophilia influenza),
Injectable polio (IPV) has to be given separately.
In hexavalent vaccines all these six will be combined so still baby will require hexavalent +PCV and oral Rota virus.
Next Steps
you can continue with pentavac in government set up
