Mom of a 3 yr 4 m old girl3 years ago
Q.

Hi Doctor, My baby is 7 weeks old now. Vaccination at 6 weeks was supposed to be taken on 16 th June. We thought of taking vaccine at government hospital, which is available only on every Wednesday. We are supposed to go on 22 nd as this is the Wednesday which is coming after 16th. Due to some situations, we could not make it happen. Can we wait till coming Wednesday or need to take immediately. Kindly requesting you to suggest on this.

A. that's fine there should not be a problem if you postpone it for maximum one month but after that it is not advisable because the child become susceptible to the vaccine preventable disease. try to get a vaccination as early as possible for first one year to 2 year of age. except one or two vaccines almost all vaccine can be given at any age and txhe advantage of the vaccine starts when it is given to the child. meet your doctor who will tell you which vaccines can be given at this age as well as whether any booster dosage is required or not.
