B12 is a very important vitamin in your body. Since you are a vegetarian, here are some foods which you can take to get your B12 naturally - yogurt, low-fat milk, fortified plant-based milk, cheese, eggs, fortified cereals, nutritional yeast. All these are assuming that you have no other health issues and are not taking any medications. Taking supplements is not harmful as such but natural is always better.
Next Steps
Dietary modification
