Q.

Hi, My baby is 6 months old. She has taken her Hepb vaccine in the first month, Pentavalent vaccines in the 2 , 3 and 4th months. Now she was given Hep b again... is it okay? because pentavalent contains Hep b already right? . Will there be any effect?

Q. 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?

Q. 3 Questions - 1. Is the Pentavalent +IPV vaccine any less effective than a Hexavalent vaccine for a 6 weeks old? 2. if we opt for Pentavalent vaccine based on affordability, Is it advised to administer 3 injections on thigh on same day? (Pentavalent+IPV+PCV) 3. In government hospitals some vaccines are not available, so is it advised to buy the vaccine ourselves for the doctor to administer? since there might be some temperature that the vaccines needs to be maintained in at all times.
