Hexavalent vaccine could improve India's immunisation programme: Study
A new study says the hexavalent vaccine could improve India's Universal Immunisation Programme. This six-in-one shot protects infants against six diseases in one injection. Susmita Chatterjee said, "Combination vaccines have long been recognised for simplifying immunisation programmes while improving convenience for families and health systems." It also saves caregivers' time.
