First of all don't feel guilty and anxious , it's ok baby has received all primary vaccines so relax and get the pending vaccines now
Baby requires MMR booster and varicella shots and after a gap of one month need to get DPT booster, Opv and hepatitis A booster doses.

Late vaccination will not cause problem. You have given all the primary vaccines on time, so delay in booster dose will not harm.
Next Steps
No worries. Give the pending vaccines too.
