6 vaccines at one go!



Benedict is due for another vaccination at 3 months next week. He will get a 6 in 1 vaccine (Infanrix Hexa) by GSK which includes Diphteria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Polio, Haemophilus influenza (type B) and Hepatitis B together in one injection. The last time he got it last month, he seemed fine.

I think it's better than getting 2 or 3 separate injections. Not to mention the pain and possible febrile episodes.

Benedict is adorable!
I hate it when they have to get shots. As a nurse I gave them all the time,...but when my daughter received them, it made me so sad. Especially when she was small :(

Hope does well again at his checkup!

Mommy will be bringing him in for his shots. He usually does quite well. Just make sure we prepare his milk bottle to soothe the trauma after the injection.
