Don’t worry about the flat head usually it will change by itself when the baby rolls over. Regarding the vaccination when the lockdown is released you can go and have safety first. If your paediatrician is giving then you can go ahead

Flat head is very commonly seen and it resolves easily .
1. Re-position your baby’s head (from left to right, right to left) when your baby is sleeping on his back with the rounded side of the head touching the mattress and the flattened side facing up.
2. " Baby head shaping pillow " are avaialble in amazon also.. they are specially designed for this
