HAns,
I'm in India.
The WHO (?) reccomendation is taht the new born is givn the first vaccine the day they are born and then again after 6 mnths. I was also advised to give her the booster after 1.5 years.
Before I realised it, my baby was taken for a BCG vaccination and a Hepatitis B vaccination. The hospital does it routinely, and no one is expected to give consent or even asked for permission.
Not to mention, we were expected to pay the exhorbitant amount for it as well.
See, we are so uneducated and illiterate here? I mean, are we not the disease infested third world?
For my other children, the pedaitrician advised me to give the vaccine, I did not as i did not see the need for it.
