Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my twin sons had their 9 month check up yesterday. I am fairly certain the pediatricians office accidently gave them the same vaccinations that they received at their 6 month appointments. Polio, Hep B and Flu. Shoudl I be worried? Are there any side effects?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
No , there are no side effects , HB 4 dose schedule is already used by gov. of INDIA with zero dose at birth , Polio drops are otherwise also given at 9 months , regarding influenza if already received 2 doses of flu , it means it is 3rd dose , but it is not going to have any side effects as recent studies with double doses of flu vaccines found it to be safe .
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Take care

Hello. I just read through your question. you do not have to be concerned that the children received the same vaccines as last time. you can't overdose on the vaccines. Receiving too many vaccines is not harmful. However, it is worth a discussion with your pediatrician to make sure they aren't missing vaccines that they should have received at that visit.
