Should a 2-month-old baby born premature receive DTaP, HiB, TPV, rotavirus, and PCV vaccines?

A 2-month-old baby, even if born prematurely, is recommended to receive the standard vaccines as part of their immunization schedule, including DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), HiB (Haemophilus influenzae type b), IPV (inactivated poliovirus), rotavirus, and PCV (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine). The immune system of a premature infant can still respond adequately to these vaccines, and early vaccination is crucial to protect them from serious diseases.

It is important to follow the recommended immunization schedules provided by health authorities. These schedules take into account the specific needs and vulnerabilities of infants, including those who are born prematurely. While there may be specific considerations and monitoring for premature infants regarding timing or potential risk factors, the general guideline is to proceed with the vaccination schedule as they would be for full-term infants, barring specific medical concerns that would delay vaccination.
