For my baby 6th week vaccine i had opted for Pentavalent vaccine+ IPV (i.e. Pentavac+Poliovac). Is it okay if i move to Hexavalent vaccine (i.e. easy 6) for 10th and 14th week considering it reduces the number of injections? Also as per vaccination chart HepB is not there for 10th and 14th week. but are there any pentavalent vaccine with IPV and excluding HepB?
