HIB, Hepatitis B, IPV, Rota Virus and PCV shots are to be given at six weeks. Is it essential to give these shots exactly at six weeks or can be taken a week or two later.

There is no harm if the first vaccination of Penta vaccine and IP or OPV is delayed for a week or two and you can give at 8 weeks or 2 months of age
