It’s ok to postpone the vaccination . Everything in science is according to the risk to benefit ratio, now the risk of going out for getting the vaccination is more than the benefit of getting the vaccine . So please wait until this ratio tilts , that is until the lockdown period is over .

Dont worry, as per Indian Academy of Pediatrics, you can delay the vaccination in the lockdown by 1 month and otherwise also, 2 months for 1st year vaccination can be delayed in cases of emergency. It's better to keep the baby safe inside and unexposed to ongoing viruses.
