During a 6-month well-child visit, which vaccinations should be administered?

At the 6-month well-child visit, it is crucial to administer vaccinations that align with the recommended immunization schedule for infants. The appropriate vaccinations at this stage include Hepatitis B (HBV), DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), IPV (inactivated poliovirus), PCV (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine), and rotavirus vaccine.

The HBV vaccination series typically begins at birth and is completed within the first 18 months of life. The DTaP vaccine is administered in a series starting at 2 months of age, with additional doses given at 4 months and 6 months. The Hib vaccine is also part of the series for infants, administered at 2, 4, and 6 months. IPV is given at 2 and 4 months, while the PCV is provided at 2, 4, and 6 months as well. The rotavirus vaccine is usually administered at 2 months, 4 months, and possibly 6 months depending on the specific vaccine used.

The other vaccination combinations presented are scheduled for different ages or not appropriate for a 6-month well-child
