HomeQuestions & AnswersHi, I'm a mother of a 3 month old baby boy. I'm having doubt regarding his vaccination.
In 6 weeks, he was given vaccines HEXA, ROTA and PCV from a private hospital.
In 10 weeks, we took him to a nearby government hospital, from where he was given PENTA, ROTA and OPV. The hospital staff informed that as first dose of PCV taken was pcv 13 variant, the same may be administered from the same private hospital, from where the first dose was given.
Now I'm worried that both the doses have been now given from different companies, is it safe for my child?
Also, polio vaccine in the first dose was given as IPV and in the second dose as OPV. Is that efficient enough?
Also please guide whether for the third dose, I should go to the private hospital (as taken in the first dose) or should I go to the government hospital (as taken in the 2nd dose).
