A. there is nothing like acceptable limits and when you take the second dosage then only full immunity will be restored. that means the percentage of immunity will become normal only when the 2nd dosage is given to the child

A. How much time gap is acceptable between the first two flu shots? In my case its going to be a gap of about 4 months?

A. definitely you can go for the other vaccinations at the interval of 1 month and when the second dosage of the new stock of flu vaccine comes then you can go for the flu vaccination
