    Born on 9th July 2014.

    I gave her BCG in hospital itself.

    23/08/2014 - DTP (1st dose) (Pentavac PFS)
    22/09/2014 - DTP (2nd dose) + Rotavirus (Rotateq)
    11/10/2014 - IPV 1st dose (Imovox)

    To be given :
    25/10/14 - DTP (3rd dose)
    10/11/2014 - IPV 2nd dose
    10/12/2014 - IPV 3rd dose
    10/01/2014 - PCV 1st dose
    10/02/2014 - PCV 2nd dose
    10/03/2014 - PCV 3rd dose

    I dont want to give more than one injection at a time. So didnt give IPV and PCV along with the 1st dose. Planning to start PCV 1st dose after completing 3 doses of IPV.

    My question is am I right in giving the vaccines in the above schedule? My Paediatrician said its fine. Internet sources and one other doctor said there should be at least 4 weeks of time interval between 2 DIFFERENT vaccines. Few sources say only between 2 SAME vaccines there should be 4 weeks interval. I am confused. Can someone clarify me?

    Also if I miss the primary doses of IPV and PCV, it was mentioned in Internet that it we have to give only 2 doses of IPV and PCV. Is it so?

    Cutie, immunization schedules between North America and India maybe slightly diffrebt( though I am not 100% sure). Is there is a reason why you did not follow the pediatrician's advise? pethaps get a second opinion? You don't want to miss the schedule.

    Hii,

    As Telja said, Rota vaccine is optional.

    But otherwise, don't skip vaccinations, optional ones can be.

    and it some vaccinations, yes 2 are given same date, one on each leg.

    I remember my child also took.

    and cost- try to take a good insurance, some expense will be covered in it.

    regards
