#asktheexpert should I take government vaccine or private vaccine for my kids

A. Both government and private vaccines are effective and safe, as they follow WHO and ICMR guidelines. Government vaccines are free and cover all essential diseases, ensuring protection against major infections. Private vaccines include additional options like Rotavirus, PCV, Meningococcal, and Flu vaccines, which provide broader protection but can be costly. If affordability is not an issue, a combination of both is ideal—taking mandatory vaccines from the government and additional recommended ones from private clinics. Always consult your pediatrician to choose the best schedule for your child.
