MCV that is meningococcal vaccine is not a mandatory vaccine in India as per IAP. It causes a serious brain infection called meningitis but is not very common so this vaccine is not recommended for all healthy kids. It is recommended for those at risk like immune deficient kids. Consult your pediatrician and decide.
