#asktheexpert after 15 months my little one has missed her vaccination. which vaccines shd i give her now?? till 15 months all vaccination are done she is 2 year old now

Question

Accepted Answer

If your child has missed her vaccinations after 15 months and is now 2 years old, you can catch up on the missed vaccines based on your country’s immunization schedule. Here are the recommended vaccines that are typically given after 15 months:

1. MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) Booster: If the second dose hasn't been given, it can be administered now.

2. Chickenpox (Varicella) Booster: If not given earlier, this can be caught up now.

3. Hepatitis A: A two-dose schedule is typically given. If the second dose is pending, it should be completed.

4. Typhoid Vaccine: This is generally given at 2 years of age or earlier in high-risk areas.

5. Influenza Vaccine: Annual flu shots are recommended, especially before the flu season.

It is crucial to consult your pediatrician to review the vaccination records and plan the catch-up schedule. They will assess your child's vaccination history and recommend the appropriate vaccines to ensure your child is fully protected.
