Accepted Answer

ideal age after 9 months completion
at the end of 9 months you will have to go for mmr vaccination that is vaccine for m-measles m-mumps and r-rubella.
at present government covers only mr vaccine while in private mmr vaccine is available.
also vitamin a drops is given during this vaccine.
around 20% to 30% of children will get low grade fever for maximum one day for which paracetamol can be given.
you have got option of typhoid vaccine which can be given along with mmr vaccine at the sage

You can take it any time between the age of 9 to 12 months it is not a problem you can consult your doctor and you can get the vaccination done sometimes a vaccination can get postponed by a month due to any reason and that is also not a problem
