A. Hello, your baby boy is 3.5 years old and if you want to protect him from Covid infection then you should give him one dose of influenza vaccinations right now

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years ago

A. because of the current pandemic situation due to covid it is advisable to postpone the vaccinations for a few weeks for safety of your child against covid, you can talk to your pediatrician for re scheduling of it but if you have missed any vaccinations in previous time it's not a problem it won't affect the baby, you can get them done now if it is possible for you to follow all the safety protocol while the vaccinations are duhone. flu vaccine or influenza vaccine are suggested to give partial protection against covid but they are of limited help, complete safety precautions has to be followed for complete protection.
