My baby got his vaccination at 6 weeks and after that we have changed location and now the Dr. at new location has changed the brand of vaccines for dtap, rotavirus etc. To be given at 10 weeks. Is it safe to change the brand of vaccines after 1st dose. Pl advise.

Hi. Changing the brand is not harmful as such .but every brand has a different efficiency of product .so usually it's advisable to stick to same brand for better vaccine response.

It is advisable to complete primary vaccination series with same product though there will not be any major side effects if other product is used.
