Is Vaccine compulsory now
My Niece is 4 months old and taken panta and polio vaccination at 1 and half month age and again at 2 and half month, now the 3rd dose is scheduled for April 07, but due to Covid lockdown it is delayed
Is it compulsory to get baby vaccinated now, or can we wait for one month
We are little scared to take baby to hospital
Please answer my question

Don't worry at all. Give it when routine vaccinations starts. Be careful not to go out at this point. Immunization can not be given on the risk of corona. Stay safe. Stay home. No matter delay of 2 months

Vaccines are more important to her even in the current scenario as well . The benefits outweighs the risk . Unless you live in hotpots area get the child vaccinated but make sure you take appointment and talk to your doctor on when to visit interms of date and time so that you need not wait in the lounge .Please take all necessary precautions as suggested for COVID .
