How many vaccinations does a 2-month-old baby get?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
At 2 months, Turkish babies receive 3 separate vaccines in a single session under the Ministry of Health's expanded immunization program:
- BCG (tuberculosis vaccine) — single dose, usually administered intradermally to the left shoulder.
- Pentavalent combination vaccine (DaBT-IPA-Hib) — protects against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and Haemophilus influenzae type b
- Pneumococcal vaccine (PCV) — protects against pneumococcal bacteria that cause pneumonia, meningitis, and otitis media
So a total of 3 injections (or two injections + BCG) are given. Some doctors administer the pentavalent and pneumococcal on the same leg and BCG on the arm to complete the process. After vaccination, mild fever, fussiness, or redness at the injection site are expected side effects; if high fever or severe reaction develops, consult your pediatrician.
