Yes you give 3 vaccines with no harm
2nd - u should go for private hexa + pcv 2 or penta + ipv + pcv 2
But in either case try going for whole pertussis as previously at govt baby took whole pertussis
To keep vaccine type as similar as possible
Yet completing vaccine
If u will go for gov 10 weeks vaccine
Your baby will miss pcv 2

That is Penta+IPV.
You can consider that vaccine.
