Hi....
There is nothing like compulsory...By vaccination we are protecting the child from few dangerous diseases...it is your decision to vaccinate or not...
It will be better if you vaccinate the child...
Yes you can continue prevenar vaccination in this age without any doubt...
It will be helpful if you give influenza also...
Recently there are many studies supporting the role of influenza vaccine in protecting from covid 19 complications...so try to give influenza also...

PVC 3 can be given at 7 months if not given already, for the booster effect .It’s an optional vaccine but benefits are there in getting the vaccine . Influenza vaccine is also an optional vaccine but beneficial against swine flu as well and also for the seasonal flu. Better go ahead and receive these vaccines
