The current schedule recommended by IAP (from 2014) should be the one printed in your child's immunisation card: that is intended to be uniformly followed by those vaccinating your child. So, being unable to follow the schedule or vaccine unavailability shouldn't be an issue, whereever the child may be
The time schedule is best adhered to, as it is finalised after lot of deliberation
Next Steps
Vaccines due at 15 months is MMR(2nd), Varicella (1st), Pneumococcal (Booster); at 18 months: (DPT+HiB)&IPV (all Booster)
Health Tips
If you are in West, local availability of vaccines especially under insurance might be then be the issue? ; )
