at the end of 6 weeks of age and at 10 weeks of age and at 14 weeks of age the same vaccines come
dpt(diphtheria pertussis tetanus)
polio
hepatitis b
h influenza b
rota virus vaccine
pneumococcal vaccine
so in total you have to give eight vaccines to the child and there are combination vaccines available so that only two injections and one oral medicines will cover the above vaccines.
