Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years ago

A. if vaccination is delayed even for few weeks it will not have any adverse effect but mandatory vaccinations specially under one year of age should be given on the priority list.Vaccination can be rescheduled as per the requirement and certain vaccines can be given simultaneously too and needs to be given under full safety precautions.due to strict pandemic situation,in such condition most important vaccination should be given on priority which your doctor will decide.regardingt all the details of the vakccine ,the schedule and their brands or prices plz consult your nearby pediatrician from whom the vaccines have to be completed ,wil be able to guide you properly according to the requirements.
