For my 1.5 months old son I had 2 queries related to vaccination
1. Came to know about Pentavalent Vaccine availability in India which is combination of 5 different vaccines. Is it safe and suitable for 1.5 months old infant?
2. Is Pentavalent Vaccine substitute to Pneumococcal vaccine? or both are different vaccines?

Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. Both vaccine are different. Pentavalent is not harmful, but it's preferable to take hexavalent instead of pentavalent.
