Brief Answer:
Vaccination suggestion
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your need for vaccination. But vaccines need to be given in a scheduled way and there should be a minimum gap of 28 days between two vaccination episodes. But at a time 4 vaccinations can be given.
If you have taken Hepatitis B 1st dose on last saturday (14-06-2014). Unfortunately you could have taken 4 on that day but you have taken only Hepatitis B, so i suggest you the following schedule -
12-07-2014 - Hepatitis B (2nd dose)
Varicella (1st dose)
MMR (1st dose)
Meningococcal polysaccharide diphtheria toxoid conjugate vaccine
Menactra (Sanofi Pasteur) 0.5ml IM single dose
09-08-2014 - Tdap (single dose)
12-10-2014 - Varicella (2nd dose)
MMR (2nd dose)
12-01-2015 - Hepatitis B (3rd dose)
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
