Talk to General Physician on Vaccination
Asking For Someone else, Son, Male, 0 Years old, Islamabad
We are from France, here on a trip. My son will be 2 months old in few days and he was given bivalent polio oral vaccination, he was supposed to get hexyon and prevenar 13 vaccinations at 2 months old, so when can I give him hexyon vaccination? And if I give him both vaccinations a few days later than his second month, is it fine for him? Thanks
Yes, Hexyon and Prevenar 13 can be administered on the same day but at different injection sites.
If they prefer, the vaccines can be given on separate days, but this is not necessary.
No, bivalent OPV does not interfere with the administration of Hexyon or Prevenar 13.
Hexyon already contains inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), which provides additional protection
a slight delay of a few days in vaccinations is generally fine and will not compromise the child’s immunity.
Hexyon (DTaP-IPV-HepB-Hib) and Prevenar 13 (Pneumococcal vaccine) are typically given at 2 months, 4 months, and 11 months in France.
If they are a few days late, it's not a problem; they can still receive both vaccines as soon as possible after turning 2 months old.
Schedule the vaccination as soon as possible if the baby has already turned 2 months old
If they will stay in France long-term, they should follow the French immunization schedule
If they return to their home country soon, they should ensure alignment with the local vaccination schedule.
