A. Yes, in addition to government vaccinations, there are a few optional/private vaccines that are not always part of the government schedule but are recommended by pediatricians for extra protection. These include: Pneumococcal (PCV-13/PCV-10) – protects against pneumonia, meningitis. Rotavirus vaccine – protects against severe diarrhea. Influenza (Flu) vaccine – given annually. Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine (TCV) – longer-lasting protection than older typhoid vaccines. Hepatitis A – protects against liver infection. Chickenpox (Varicella) – if not given in the government schedule. MMRV (Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella combo) – optional combo instead of MMR and Varicella separately. You can check with your pediatrician for a personalized vaccination chart to see which optional vaccines are suitable for your child’s age and health. These vaccines can offer broader protection and are generally safe and effective.
