A. Some vaccines are not available at govt hospital hence need to be taken from private hospital And painless option is not available at govt places Give all vaccination on time Follow IAP immunization shedulde chart for vaccination and Pneumoccocal vaccine should be given at 6,10, 14 wks and booster at 15 months of age Pneumoccocal vaccine is a optional vaccine but always better to give. It give protection against Repeated tonsills infection, repeat sinus infection, throat infection, pneumonia, ear infection etc Can go with any brand all are equally good and effective.

A. Hello ma’am As far as my information goes PCV is an essential vaccination to go for so if it is not available in the government vaccinations and you can get it done from a private hospital not an issue at all because there may be a difference of one or two vaccinations in between government and private vaccinations
