My baby is 2months old and is getting shots tomorrow.he has just had one shot hepatitis b at birth. is he missing shots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: babies need their first set of vaccines ( after the Hepatitis B shot at birth) at two months of age which includes DTaP, IPV, Hemophilous influenza ( Hib), Hepatitis B ( 2nd booster), Prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine) ( PCV 13), Rota. Usually DTaP, IP and Hib/ or HepB come as combination vaccine so baby ends up getting three needle sticks and one oral vaccine.

My infant did not get the first dose of the Hep B vaccine at birth. We plan to get all other vaccines on schedule at 2 months - would it be okay to delay Hep B until later, like once he is one year so one less shot at 2mo? He shouldnt have any risk?
Our infant did not receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth - is it okay to give the first dose with all the other vaccines at 2 months? Or is it worth spacing it out? Is there any benefit to spacing vaccines out vs. all at once?

Can your baby have a birth defect due to a hepatitis a & b shot prior to your finding out you were pregnant?
Am I likely to still have immunity for Hepatitis B? I had 5 Hepatitis B shots in total. 3 doses after birth between 1994-1995, 1 dose in 2000, and 1 dose in 2013. In 2013, serology confirmed I had immunity then. Do I still have immunity?
