A. that's fine can wai till 18months of age also. vaccine is very important to increase the immunity of the body. very important to complete the course of vaccination which come before 5 years of age because this is the age group in which children are prone to vaccine preventable diseases. contact your doctor who will tell you which vaccines are important for your child and which vaccines are optional. optional vaccine only depends upon the immunity status of the child as well as upon the endemic diseases of your area
