Hello
Yes, PCV (Pneumococcal) and IPV (Inactivated Polio Vaccine) can be given even after a gap of 5 days. There is no strict maximum gap, and a slight delay will not reduce vaccine effectiveness. It is better to give the vaccines as soon as they are available, even if a few days or weeks later. It is completely safe to take PCV and IPV from a private setup now. No need to restart the vaccine series—just continue the remaining doses as per schedule.
Next Steps
Visit a private center and get PCV and IPV at the earliest.
Update the immunization card with the correct dates for future reference.
Follow the regular immunization schedule for the next doses.
Health Tips
Always try to complete all vaccines due at a visit, but small delays like this are common and acceptable.
Ensure the child is not having any acute illness or fever before vaccination.

Hi.
You can get the remaining vaccines now too.
And continue with your schedule after a gap of one month.
Not every vaccine is available in the government setup.
Make sure to get your child vaccinated with all vaccines in the private sector too.
