A. it can be delayed for. Vaccination is very important for babies. Some amount of delay is justified though in primary vaccines there should not be any delay . Flu vaccine can also be given during this flu season .

Q. #asktheexperts my daughter got her 1st flu vaccine at 6month age and doc said to get another round at 7 month age. We visit this doctor for the 1st time as earlier we were in our home town and consulting another doctor. So according to the chart provided to us by him there was no flu shot on 7 month. Please would like to get a second opinion on this. We should get 2nd dose of flu shot at 7 month?

Q. My daughter's 1st flu vaccine was given on 30th december 2020 and accordingly 2nd dose was supposed to be given but due to stock unavailability its not given. Is it ok if the 2nd shot delays till april? And also due to the 2nd flu shot her other vaccines are also getting delayed. Since the 2nd flu shot is not available can she be given her other vaccines or should we wait for her flu shot to be completed. Please reply. Thanks.
