It give protection against Repeated tonsills infection, repeat sinus infection, throat infection, pneumonia, ear infection etc Can go with any brand all are equally good and effective.

A. Yea it is good to take all vaccines. almost all vaccines are good n safe to give though they may not be compulsory to babies still it's always good to give and be safer. Few hospitals would say few are mandatory and few or not. still all vaccines are must for babies and its safe to give it. Never miss any vaccine to your child.
