For a 1.5-month-old baby, the PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine) and RV (Rotavirus Vaccine) are indeed recommended vaccinations.

PCV Vaccine Schedule: Typically administered in two primary doses at 6 weeks and 14 weeks, followed by a booster dose at 9-12 months of age.

RV Vaccine Schedule: Usually given in three doses at 6 weeks, 10 weeks, and 14 weeks.

It's essential to consult your pediatrician for personalized advice and to ensure your baby receives the necessary vaccinations on time.
