But when using a small amount, it needs to be injected with 3 injections, younger than 1 year old, injected into the outer thigh, older than 1 year old, injected on the upper arm.If injected with infection, the system immunity will improve.No, you can inject it, but if you have a fever, you may not be able to inject it. But if the baby is clearly infected it can be omitted 2 months earlier
If you have an appointment to inject the second or third needle and are busy or forget Able to inject later than expected Because slow injection, better immunity. But don’t delay too long because be careful to get infected first.

We provide a 7-day service for the convenience of the government, “said Chalermkul.
When asked if an appointment can be injected again?

Because the data recorded in the doctor is ready to view the vaccination history. but he wants to go to the same place so that he can record continuously
