Q.

#asktheexperts My baby’s new doctor prescribed the Meningococcal vaccine at 9 months, while the previous doctor advised it at 2 years of age. Due to this confusion, my baby missed the vaccine at 9 months. My baby will complete 10 months on 14 June. Kindly advise when the vaccine should now be given

A. It’s alright you can get the vaccination done now also and it’s an optional vaccination which is alright to be done a little later in case of doubt you can refer to the vaccine tracker section on the app itself for better clarity
