Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to HealthcareMagic.

Usually the first of the vaccines you mentioned are given at 6 weeks of age.

So the first dose has been given correctly at 15 XXXXXXX 2014.

The second dose of all these vaccines are usually given at 10 weeks ie one month later , so 15 July 2014.

The third dose will be one more month later, ie 15 august 2014.

Rotavirus may or may not be given at the third time depending in the brand (rotarix only 2 doses , rotateq three doses total).

Let me know if you need any further details
