Hi You are vegetarian So Please go for inj vit B12  on alternate day for 7 doses  Then you can continue for the tablet for 1 month. Orally  vit. B12 is less absorbed. Many times the patient has associated deficiency of intrinsic factor which is helpful for absorption of  vit. B 12. So Monthly one inj. Vit B12  for life long It is advisable
