Vaccine Queries
Following vaccines are pending for our Son, Age: 1 year 5 months
15th months schedule vaccine as per the vaccine chart
MMR2S, VARICELLA 1, PCV BOOSTER
16th to 18th months schedule: DTAP B1, IPV B1, HIB B1
Recently we have changed the Paediatrician for our Baby hence here are my queries cited below for your kind suggestions
1: New Paediatrician was saying that she would like to give following vaccines (MMR2, VARICELLA 1, PCV BOOSTER) one per month rather than 3 in one go whereas our previous Paediatrician went for all in a single go in many such occasion where there was more than 1 vaccine hence which one is ideal and safe for our baby
2: For MME 2 shall we go advise our doctor to give same brand like previous same category MMR 1, brand name: TRESIVAC
3: For PCV booster shall we advise doctor to give previous brand I.e PREVANAR 13 like previous PCV 1 TO 3
4: FOR DTAP B1, IPV B1, HIB B1 shall we advise doctor to give same.brand HEXAMIM which was given during DTAP, IPV & HIB 1 TO 3
