Q. My baby vaccination is completed upto 6th week by government hospital. Now its time for 10th week vaccination. As per government hospital vaccination schedule, there are only two doses of PCV and IPV i.e at 6th and 14th week but as per private hospital schedule, there are total three doses i.e at 6th, 10th and 14th week. Should i continue in government hospital or opt for private hospital? Is it possible that i vaccinate my child at 10th week by government hospital for all vaccines and then go to private hospital for only PCV and IPV and then at 14th week vaccine by government hospital for all vaccines? #Vaccination

Q. Hi Doctor, For my kid 6th week vaccination completed at government healthcare center. Same five vaccines they are giving in 14th week also. But in 10th week they are giving only three vaccines i.e. Penta, OPV and ROTA, not giving PCV and IPV. Tomorrow is my kid 10th week vaccination day. So once we take three vaccines i.e Penta, OPV, ROTA for him in government center, same day can we go and take PCV vaccine at private hospital?
