Shall I Give Rota And Pcv Shots On 10th Week? Is It Safe To Change Pentaxim In Second Dose?

My Baby got the Pentaxim & revac-b at 6th week. After, reading few articles in Indian Pediatric Association, DTwP is better than DTaP. I would like to change Pentaxim to other in second dose. Is it safe & how about efficacy of vaccine? If safe, Let me know good brand also ?

In the 6th Week, I didn't give shots for Rota & PCV. Shall I give this shots on 10th week ?

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
You can go for pentavac which is a good brand for DTwP but be prepared for fever and swelling which are common side effects of DTwP irrespective of the brand.
You can start PCV rota from 10 weeks and give total three doses , one each month.
Hope I answered your query
Regards
Arun
