Hello, How are You? I understand your anxiety regarding giving vaccine,but you are right to avoid hospital because of Covid 19,specially because of surge in variant strain ,which is very infectious. There is viral interference it does not allow other viruses to infect. You are saved. Now just check local Covid 19situation.Banglore is not much infected today :14 cases ,.because there was surge specially in Karnataka you don't go out for another 2weeks.depending on new active cases ,you start giving one dose of i )vaccine. Then give second one after 4 ., 3)after another 4weeks. Take all precautions against Covid19.That is the need of an hour. All the best
Next Steps
have you taken vaccine against Covid19? If not, take as early as possible.

Hello,
Yes, you can delay it.
But, why delay this further, it's already delayed by few months.
Kindly go to the doctor clinic with prior appointment, so the waiting time is less and take the injection.
Take care.
