POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. For a 7-month and 8-month-old baby, the following vaccinations are typically recommended according to the immunization schedule in India. However, please check with your pediatrician for confirmation and to ensure your baby is up to date with vaccinations:
At 7 Months:
Hepatitis B (3rd Dose): If the baby has already received the first two doses at birth and 6 weeks, the third dose should be administered at 7 months.
Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) (3rd Dose): If your baby has already received the first two doses, the third dose is usually given between 6 and 7 months.
Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) (3rd Dose): This is often given along with other vaccines during the 6-week and 10-week vaccinations, but make sure the child has received all scheduled doses.
Hexavalent Vaccine (if part of your vaccination schedule): This combination vaccine may include Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B, Hib, and Polio.
At 8 Months:
Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR): MMR vaccine is usually given at 9 months of age. However, some pediatricians may recommend giving it earlier depending on the local vaccination guidelines.
Hib Vaccine (Booster Dose): Some schedules may recommend a booster dose of the Hib vaccine around 12 to 15 months, but it’s important to verify if your baby has already received it earlier.
Additional Notes:
Vitamin D: Some babies may need Vitamin D supplementation if recommended by your pediatrician, especially in areas where sunlight exposure is limited.
Other vaccines: Depending on regional recommendations or specific health concerns, other vaccines may be advised (e.g., Rotavirus vaccine).
Always keep the vaccination card and record of your baby’s vaccinations updated. If you missed a dose or are uncertain about the schedule, consult your pediatrician for advice and any catch-up vaccinations.
