My son is 1 year old and he has been vaccinated with all the vaccinations available at Government dispensary. What other vaccinations I should consider and what should be the schedule for that, like in which month which vaccine can be given? Thanks in advance.

A. Since your 1-year-old son has received the basic government vaccinations, you might consider some additional vaccines for extra protection, depending on availability and recommendations. These can include rotavirus vaccine (if not given), pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), influenza (flu) vaccine yearly, and MMR booster if not already done. Also, varicella (chickenpox) and hepatitis A vaccines are optional but helpful. The usual schedule after 1 year includes: 12–15 months: MMR, PCV booster, Hepatitis A (1st dose) 16–18 months: DPT booster Annually: Flu vaccine (especially during flu season) Check with your pediatrician for a personalized schedule and to confirm which vaccines your son has already received.
