Thanks Dr,

Should all these vaccinations ( DPwT, IPV, Hep B ( BCG if not given earlier), Hib, rotavirus, PCV) be given in week 6.
Is there any harm if it is postponed for a week ?

Hi
There is no harm if the vaccination is delayed for a week. But do give it thereafter at every 4 weeks interval as suggested earlier.
Take care
