Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Vaccination needs to be given to child only when the present covid situation becomes favourable and under full safety precautions.if there is any delay it will not have any adverse effect but mandatory vaccinations specially under one year of age should be on the priority list followed by optional vaccine later on .due to strict pandemic situation,in such condition most important vaccination should be given on priority which your doctor will decide. Influenza vaccine should be given to children above 6 months of age in this season if not given to avoid unnecessary hospitalisatiooinn and other risk factors because of flu infection.it is repeated after one year as a booster dose.

Yes You should get it done for safety sake because there are too many diseases flu and stuff happening these days it’s better to be prepared and a lot of people are saying that if you take the vaccination specially influenza you can definitely have a good protection from the third wave of Covid
