Wait till lockdown is over. Decreasing transmission or contracting covid is bigger risk than advantages offered by routine vaccinations in present scenario of lockdown

Yes, you can wait until the lockdown is over. Taking your child out for vaccination to a clinic is a major risk than giving it. . There is no risk. Do not worry

No need to worry.In such emergency situation it’s better to stay at home. You can get your child vaccinated as soon as things are normal.You can continue with your vaccination schedule later.

Change and or postponement of Scheduled vaccination is acceptable in some situations like Pandemic Covid/ Child being sick, not possible to reach health facility during natural calamities. you can give 1-2 months after scheduled date. No need to worry. Govt is looking for all those kind of elective  medical problems. We may get solutions soon.
