Hello to all the pediatricians out there. My baby girl was born in jan in the uk. We have given her men b vaccine (bexsero) in the uk. But after coming back to india we found that bexsero vaccine is not available in the country So my peds doc said i can opt for men a vaccine as it is more prevalent strain in our country. Can some one suggest me if i can give men a vaccine for my baby as she is having bexsero vaccine 2nd dose due this month. TIA
