Accepted Answer

Vaccination needs to be given to child only when the present covid situation becomes favourable and under full safety precautions.if there is any delay it will not have any adverse effect but
mandatory vaccinations specially under one year of age should be on the priority list  followed by optional vaccine later on .due to strict pandemic situation,in such condition most important vaccination should be given on priority which your duttoctor will decide.
Influenza vaccine should be given to children above 6 months of age in this season if not given to avoid unnecessary hospitalisation and other risk factors because of flu infection.it is repeated after one year as a booster dose.

Accepted Answer

good morning there is no problem in postponement of any vaccination by a couple of weeks but definitely I would recommend that whenever it is possible you should take your baby for the vaccination
