What to bring to the first infant visit
Keep the birth vaccine card and discharge summary ready. Tell the clinician whether BCG, hepatitis B and oral polio were given, and report any reaction. Six weeks means 42 days after birth; use completed age and the doctor’s due date rather than a calendar-month estimate.
Understanding the 6-in-1 vaccine
A hexavalent combination includes diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, Hib and inactivated polio components. It does not include pneumococcal or rotavirus protection. Products vary in pertussis formulation and approved use, so ask which brand your doctor recommends and which separate doses are due.
Cost and the following appointments
A six-week vaccination cost should include each selected vaccine plus any visit fee. Ask for an itemised total. Save the brand labels and dose dates after vaccination because the 10- and 14-week visits continue the series; they are not interchangeable copies of the birth doses.
