Hi Doctor. I Have A Baby Girl Who Was Born

Explained below,
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in 'Ask A Doctor',
I have reviewed your query and can understand your concern,
Ideally all the vaccinations are perfectly safe to be given in premature or low birth wright babies. So if your baby girl was not vaccinated at the time of birth, they have to be take as soon as possible.
The normal triad of vaccinations given at birth are BCG, Hep B and Polio.
BCG- if not taken at birth, can be taken even now.
Hep B- if not taken at birth, should be taken as soon as possible. Note the date of the vaccination taken, and give a gap of 1 month till the next dose.
Polio- Should be taken within a month. Since its already been 40 days, second dose can be taken next week.
I hope this helps,
Let me know if I can assist you any further,
Regards

Hi again,
Thanks for replying back,
Yes, these vaccinations can be taken together in a single day. But it would be better if you could consult with a paediatrician for proper physical examination before administering the vaccinations.
As with any vaccinations or medications, there can be some side effects but which are generally rare. But there will not be any serious effects due to delay in vaccination.
I hope this helps,
Please feel free to discuss further,
Regards
