What immunizations are recommended at 2 months of age?

At 2 months of age, children are recommended to receive several key immunizations to protect against serious diseases. The combination of DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), IPV (inactivated poliovirus), Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), PCV13 (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine), and RV (rotavirus) is crucial for establishing early immunity.

DTaP protects against three bacterial infections that can cause severe illness, especially in infants. IPV is essential to protect against polio, a virus that can cause paralysis. Hib vaccine prevents infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b, which can lead to meningitis and other serious illnesses. PCV13 is important for preventing pneumonia and other infections caused by pneumococcal bacteria. Finally, the RV vaccine protects against rotavirus, a leading cause of severe diarrhea in young children.

The other options focus on different groups of vaccines, but they do not align with the recommended immunization schedule for this specific age. For example, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and Varicella (chickenpox) vaccines are typically given later, starting at 12 months of age
