Can Two Vaccinations Be Given On The Same Day?

default
Posted on Wed, 18 Jun 2014
Question: Dear Sir ,

Birth Date of my baby is Date: 17/12/2013
First Dose : Pentaxim and Rotavirus Date: 30/01/2014
Second Dose : Pentaxim and Rotavirus Date : 01/03/2014

After Second dose we went Dubai for holiday and tried there for vaccination but as per International Vaccination schedule they didn't provide Petaxim with the reason " There should be 2 Months of Gap " and we have already provide 2 doses of Pentaxim and they started Phenmococal and Hepatitus B First dose to my baby.

First Dose :
Phenmococal and Hepatitus B Date : 16 April 2014 Prevnar-13 Given
Second Dose :
Phenmococal and Hepatitus B Date : 19 May 2014 Prevnar-13 Given

and next Third Dose of Phenmococal and Hepatitus B suggested by doctor is on 20th XXXXXXX 2014.

As of now my baby completed 5 Months on 17/05/2014 but pentaxim is not available in market anymore (out of stock) & the distributor says, it could take 7-15 days for new stock. Please suggest should I hold on for 10-12 days (the child will be 5 Months then), or should I look for alternate (Easy five, pentavac, Tripacel, Boostix, etc). If alternate, then which vaccine is recommended.

Second concern : Since last dose of Phenmococal and Hepatitus B was given on Date : 19 May 2014 (Prevnar-13) and PD told us to give Pentaxim after 7-8 days if available else any alternate will be provide . Please suggest should I give any alternate ASAP or we can hold till next date of vaccination that is 19 XXXXXXX 2014 along with Third Dose of Phenmococal and Hepatitus B suggested by doctor is on 20th XXXXXXX 2014.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
Two vaccine can be given on the same day or minimum 26 days apart for good results.Since you gave prevenar and hep B on 19 may,so pentaxim can be given only after 15 XXXXXXX along with prevenar.Pentaxim is available now.Infanrix is also available. So you can complete vaccination by then.
Happy to help you
