4th month vaccination in other country.

Hello! My son is 4month 10days today. My son was born in indonesia and uptill 3months he had his vacvinations in indonesia itself. Since one month i have come to india for vaccation and his 4month vaccination for DTP- HIB and Polio is pending. I m concerned about getting him vaccinated here in india as brand for vaccination will be different from indonesia.
Is it ok if i get my son vaccinated with different brand in india? My stay in india is for 1 and half month so cannot delay my son's vaccination due to my stay. Or should i prepond my tickets for indonesia to get my son vaccinated there only?

I asked my son's dr in indonesia abt the brand he gave in 2months vaccine for DTP and Hib to my son he said GLAXO SMITH KLINE INFANRIX HIB. In india i asked for this brand they said we can give that as well. In india they give PENTAXIM for DTP-HIB combined vaccine.

I'd consider getting your son vaccinated in India, and then perhaps revaccinated later if you don't trust the effectiveness of the vaccine you got in India.  You can run the brand of vaccine by your doctor at home and see what the doctor thinks of it.
