HepB vaccination Infants
We are following the IAP 2016 vaccination schedule which recommended HepB at birth,6 weeks and 6months. We got the birth(Bevac) and 6 week (Infanrix Hexa) correct. 10week was pentaxim which doesn't contain HepB. At the 14 week visit the doctor recommended and gave my baby infanrix Hexa instead of Pentaxim. Please help with the below two Questions.
1) Is it safe to have taken the 3rd dose of HepB now instead of 6th month? Time difference between 2nd (6 weeks dose) and 3rd dose is 72 days.
2) Should we also take the 6th month HepB monovalent vaccine?
Thanks in advance.
