Q. #AskTheExpert Is it mandatory to give PCV on the same day as other vaccines?? My baby boy is 4 months old and got all the 3 doses of vaccination from government Anganwadi center and it didn't include PCV vaccine. Now government Anganwadi centers has PCV vaccine ( 2 doses + 1 booster dose). Can I get my child vaccinated with PCV now?? or is it mandatory that PCV should be given on the same day as the initial 3 doses of other vaccines( penta + rota virus)???
