    Hi,
    My son is 3.2 years old. I have recently moved to US from India. I have already given him 4 doses of PCV there.

    Today I went for a general checkup for my son. This is my first paediatric visit in US. So, they asked my kid's india vaccination record. But they have updated the PCV doses wrongly in their portal. It was updated only for 3 times dosage. I was not aware of this.
    During today visit, dr has put him one (5th dose) PCV dose. I thought it was as per the schedule in US. Since I don't have the immunization schedule in US. I came back home and check their portal. The fourth dosage entry was missing. And I googled now abt US vaccination schedule where its mentioned as 4 PCV doses only.

    I am so much worried now.. Does this 5th extra dose harmful to my baby?
    I was not able to reach that dr to ask about this. Don't know how they gonna respond to this..

    Any mommies gone thru like this? Please share...

    Hi OP, Call the doctors office and leave a message with the nurse regarding the vaccination and ask them to call you back.
