A. yes take it at 14wks also At 6,10,14wks ur baby should have DTP, HiB, Hep. B, and IPV Plus Pneumoccocal vaccine Plus Rotavirus vaccine. In DTP component if u go for whole cell ie DTwP It may cause pain fever and sometime swelling at vaccination site (painful vaccination). In DTP component if u go for accelular ie DTaP It doesn't cause pain fever and swelling at vaccination site(painless vaccination). Both Vaccine ie whole cell or accelular are equally good and effective
