Hi... Pls give pneumococcal vaccine  as it protects against pneumonia(infection of lungs) which is a very serious disease in small babies... Now government has also introduced this vaccine in some of the hospitals in North India... Two types of vaccine available in the market... Prevenar and Synflorix... Prevenar is the preferred vaccine..
