Accepted Answer

because of the current pandemic situation due to covid it is advisable to postpone the vaccinations for a few weeks for safety of your child against covid, you can talk to your pediatrician for re scheduling of it but if you have missed any vaccinations in previous time it's not a problem it won't affect the baby, you can get them done now if it is possible for you to follow all the safety protocomgl while the vaccinations are done.
flu vaccine or influenza vaccine are  suggested to give partial protection against covid but they are of limited  help, complete safety precautions has to be followed for complete protection.
