A. yes should be taken flu vaccine also known as influenza vaccine is very important for decreasing the chances of viral infection by at least 60% in your child. the first dosage is givend at the end of 6 months and the second dosage at the end of 7 months and then every year till completion of 7 years of age. previously it was an optional vaccine but now it is considered as an important vaccine for children. flu vaccine can be started at any age. best time for flu vaccine is usually just before rainy season on set typhoid vaccine can be given anytime after completion of 6 months of age of the child. as per the new guidelines you have to give only one dosage for typhoid conjugate vaccine. the other typhoid vaccine is known as typhoid polysaccharide vaccine and it is given after 2 years of age and is repeated every 3 yearly. in the present scenario it is advisable to go for only typhoid conjugate vaccine.

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. can give now also yes you can go for the vaccine now also. many times due to to some reasons you are not able to give explanation to the child there is no need to worry and you can go for the vaccination. meet your doctor with your vaccine card who will arrange when you can go for the vaccine and how many dosage will be needed. Thanks and take care.
