Special vaccines for a 7-month-old?

For 7-month-olds in Turkey, beyond the Health Ministry schedule, there are private/paid vaccine options available. The most commonly chosen are:
1. Rotavirus vaccine (RotaTeq or Rotarix): Usually starts at month 2; if the first dose wasn't given before month 6, it can't be started. If your baby started it earlier, the final dose can be given at month 7. Protects against severe diarrhea and vomiting.
2. Meningococcal B vaccine (Bexsero): Can be given from month 2 onward; month 7 is still a good time. Provides protection against meningitis and blood poisoning.
3. Chickenpox vaccine: Usually recommended after 12 months; not given at 7 months.
4. Hepatitis A vaccine: Starts after 18 months; not given at 7 months.
Most common choice: If rotavirus wasn't started and your baby was under 6 months when it became unavailable, you're too late for rotavirus at 7 months. The most popular private vaccine choice then is Meningococcal B.
Before deciding, discuss with your child's doctor about what's best for your baby's health history.
