Dear Lybrateuser,

BCG, oral Polio, hepatitis b in first week. @6 wk DPT, IPV HIB HBV. But you really need to meet pediatrician to understand what it is. There are too many options for vaccines to be advised online.

Yes this vaccination is mandatory nowadays and that too pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is preferable. Yes you can give at 16mnths of age.

When your baby is six weeks old, it is recommended they have three vaccines: combined (or hexavalent) dtpa-hib-ipv-hepb, 13vpcv, and rotavirus. Only two of the vaccines are needles, usually given in babies' legs. The rotavirus vaccine is given as drops put into your baby's mouth.

No need to get worried, tdap contains tetanus toxoid and diphtheria and acellular pertussis whereas dpt contains diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis protein, no harm would happen with acellular pertussis.

2 weeks (14 days) gap is preferable between dose of rabies and covid
you can consult me online for further information.

After 2 years single dose of conjugate vaccine as a priming dose followed by a polysaccharide vaccine as booster will ensure adequate protection.

It is better to take typhoid vaccine at any age after six months of age. For children bellow two years of age (tcv) polysaccharide conjugate vaccine should be used.
