Vaccination

2022-03-17 10:14:11
My son is 3 yrs & 4 months old. We are following a vaccination schedule as prescribed in a booklet provided at the time of his birth. Today we visited our regular Pediatrician in Gurgaon who advised us to add 2 more vaccinations 1. Meningococcal vaccine 2. Japanese Encephalitis Doc applied the meningococcal vaccine today and Japanese Encephalitis is slated for next month. We were reading about it later while returning and realised meningococcal is advisable for children of 11 years + age. My son is a healthy kid and doesnt have any symptoms/ illness. Please let me know its advisable to apply these vaccinations for a 3 year old
