MMR VACCINE DELAY
My son is completing 1 year. We could not vaccinated him for MMR due to his health. How much delay can be made for MMR vaccine as there are many covid cases in my building. I am worried about exposing him as we need to use lift because of high rise building.
Please guide us.

Ideally it should be given at 15 month of age but it can be given anywhere between 15-18 months of age, moreover there are reports that MMR vaccine may provide protection against covid.
