I have a 5 month plus girl baby. She received her 1st and 2nd dose of DPT, Hib, Polio, Hep B in the hospital but she took her third dose of these vaccinations in a private clinic. I have asked the pediatrician whether or not this would affect her but according to him this is okay. Is it true that an infant has to get all the follow-up vaccination from the same hospital/clinic as the vaccines used are different although they serve the same purpose? Check Out the Answer

My child currently has a small doubt of Diarrhea. He is currently taking an antibiotic for this problem. He was due for his DPT this week, but the pediatrician suggested that we wait for the medicine cycle to be over and then wait for a couple of weeks before giving the shot. By this time, he would have been ready for the 2nd dose of DPT. Is it OK that he prolongs the first shot?? Also, since the first shot is prolonged, my guess is, the others will be too, or is there an alternative?? Check Out the Answer
