A. yes can be given . Immunization should be done if feasible for infant as they are primary vaccines but can be delayed for about 14 days . But other vaccine can be delayed for a month or so . . Influenza vaccine should be given yearly as covid vaccine is still under trial and flu vaccine is recommended.
