BCG and polio was given to child by birth only hepatitis vaccine is not given that is why I want to know more about it. when I ask this to dr. then he said about mother ( no history and all). 
I heard that govt hospital given vaccine given for free and private hospital taken huge amount of money for the same vaccine. which one should I prefer according to you.

Answer

Which vaccination have you missed apart from hepatitis because BCG is also done for the child as the child after a week of that if you haven’t gotten any of the vaccinations you can check with your paediatrician they can give it later also if it is into that referral age where a vaccination can be given then they will give it
