My son is 4 yr old. He got vaxiflu-4 injection in month of October. Doctor advise to get next Vaxiflu-4 after one month again. And then it will be once in a year. But I research on Internet, and it is advising only once in a year. So I am confuse should I go for vaccine after one month again or next year only. My son immunity is good, hardly he got fever and cold 1-2 in a year. Please advise

A. VaxiFlu 4 Vaccine is given as an injection into a muscle by a doctor or nurse. It is usually given just before the cold season when the flu virus begins to increase. Normally, only one injection is required to protect you for a year.

Q. Due to our remote location , lockdown and corona 2nd wave, my daughter's vaccination after 06 month got delayed . Today i arranged for vaccines in an icebox from a town about 100 kms. Finally my 07 month old daughter recieved :- 1. Typhoid Vaccine (Typbar TCV 0.5ml) right thigh and 2. Inactivated Influenza Vaccine ( Vaxiflu-4 for Northern Hemisphere for 2020-2021 season) on left thigh. (Vaxiflu-4 0.5ml was given upto half mark i.e. 0.25 ml.) She had developed slight fever , then we gave 0.5 ml Calpol Peadiatic drops (Paracetemol Paediatric Oral Suspension IP 100 mg ). My concerns are about Vaxiflu-4. Is NH strain ok and giving Vaxiflu-4 half rather than Vaxiflu toddler is also ok ( as it could not be arranged).
