Q. Will delaying vaccines for an infant cause any problem?
Hi doctor, I am blessed with a baby boy (3 months 10 days). I am sharing with you his vaccination card. All vaccines are almost due because of the Corona Pandemic. Most of the clinics are almost closed. Will you please suggest, whether these vaccines can be delayed a bit till the suspension of lockdown, or do I need to arrange it ASAP. Really tensed about this unexpected and unfortunate situation.
Hello.  I understand your concern for your child. I would say you can wait for some more time till the end of this month as probably after this month lockdown restrictions will be over. I believe you should go according to your pediatrician as he would understand the situation best at your place. Till then, best hygiene measures should be taken for your child. Use hand rub or wash hands properly before touching your child. Avoid giving bottle feeds. If you maintain this, there should be no problem. All vaccines can be given at a later date.
