Vaccination of new born
My daughter was having viral fever when she was 5 weeks old. Doctor prescribed Cefpodoxime antibiotic. It will be completed tomorrow and she will become 6 weeks old too. Now my question is whether it's necessary to dose vaccines exactly at 6 weeks day or we can delay it? If yes then how many days we can delay it. Its just to avoid fever overlapping

Dear Parent, first of all even during minor fever cough cold you can get vaccinated your baby. Now come to your concern, 6 weeks is the minimum age for that vaccine so you can postpone this.

If you comfortable within next 3-7 days you can get it done. No major harm.
