A. Immunity and growth can be taken care of by giving a proper balanced diet with all the nutrition required for proper growth of the child . vitamin C, zinc, iron and vitamin D has key role in this. Multivitamin syrup like polybion LC can be given 5 ml twice a day for 1 to 2 months. boosting the immunity along with following all the safety precautions will help in protecting the child from the infections.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 should be on the priority list followed by optional vaccine later on . Vaccination for children can be considered in the current situation as the cases of covid are less to some extent . 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 hospitalisation and other risk factors because of flu infection.
