My daughter just had her immunisation at six weeks on Thursday the 23rd. I know that she was supposed to be injected on the left thigh and the right tI meant why not two times but my nunu was crying a lot I even forgot to ask.the nurse gave her de drops in de mouth and she gave the other drops to give her but I did not know what the drops were for and I did not ask.so doctor I wanna ask if I have to go for another injection on the right thigh or not?? because I have noticed that at 10weeks and at 14 weeks she is still supposed to be injected twice on the right thigh and once on the left...thanks for de response while waiting...
