Definitely dont take the child to hospital. Most likely ur due vaccine is measles/MMR. Yes, u can wait for the scheduled vaccination. Drawback is to contract the infection. Keep him at home, stay home. Stay safe.

He is due for MMR Vaccination,if pediatrician is available nearby for vaccination you can go ahead. Try to go to the clinic when there's no crowd.

Yes the vaccination can be delayed by 2-3 months as the vaccines to be given are Typhoid conjugate vaccine and MMR.  Give clean hygienic food( homemade)and water to avoid any chances of typhoid infection.
