Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
The government of India and even Indian academy of Pediatrics has recommended not to delay vaccination due to COVID as it may lead to these vaccine preventable diseases outbreak later on. So I would suggest you get the vaccination done as early as possible.
Next Steps
Book appointment with your nearest Pediatrician and go so that waiting time is less. Most of the places are following separate vaccination/ well baby slots to avoid exposure to them.
Health Tips
All precautions like maintaining social distance , hand hygiene should be followed.

The immunisation can be given after the lockdown ends. As long as your baby doesn’t come in contact with anyone else with MMR he/she should be fine. As the baby is in lockdown it’s unlikely that they will be infected now..
Health Tips
If you still want the immunisation done make sure you go to a hospital doing well baby immunisation clinics. Even that may be an issue because parents/child attending the clinic could be asymptomatic corona virus carriers.
