Brief Answer:
Better to take those
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand your concern.
Vitanova and calcimax p are safe to take.
You can give if your doctor has prescribed it.
Though not mandatory, if prescribed after examination it is better to continue as per advice.
Rotavirus and pneumococcal diseases are the largest killer diseases in children in XXXXXXX More than 2 lakh deaths and 70 lakh hospitalisation every year in XXXXXXX
It is the best gift you can buy for your son rather than buying toys and fancy clothes.
Many people are not aware of the seriousness of these vaccines because government does not give it free because of the cost involved.
It is entirely upto you to give or skip the vaccines.
Wishing your child good health
Regards
Dr Arun
