Hello sir, My daughter's third vaccination was due on 20th April,2020 but due to lockdown we delayed it. But now again lockdown extended by 2 weeks. Should I wait more? How long we can delay vaccination? Because situation is getting worse day by day here in Mumbai..

The accepted interval between doses is 4-8wks, so you can get it done as soon as lockdown ends . No need to panic

I guess u mean 14 week vaccination which includes DPT Hib and 2optinal vaccines rotvirus and Pneumococcal if Recieved earlier..  These are called the primary vaccinations..  They should ideally be given on time so if possible plz get them done..

Is it 14th week vaccination ? Ideally u should not delay vaccination but in circumstances like these we have no other option left.  As hospitals are gng to open try to vaccinate as early as possible .
