Immunization
Hello doctor,
Die to some health problems in baby we have delayed baby's immunization injection. Till 10 weeks it was given correct. But, 14 weeks immunization is given now I.e is he is now exactly 5 months old. It means immunization delayed by 1.5 months.
I am really worried I hope this gap won't create health issues in baby. Will make sure from next time that baby is immunized on time.
Plz tell me delayed 14 weeks vaccine won't cause any harm right?

Vaccines are given for preventing diseases not for cure. If baby has been fine in this period, there is no harm likely. But please take the vaccines now and become up to date. Don't delay next time if possible

Hi
Please make sure next immunisation schedule is not missed for the baby further. Since two doses have been given on time, and only one has been given delayed, it should be okae.
Because of the pandemic situation, vaccination has been missed. Please ensure baby is in a secure environment. We advise you to take baby out for vaccination only after prior appointment, with a Pediatrician.
Next Steps
Next vaccination would be at 6 months completed age of baby
Health Tips
Please keep a diary or event note for vaccination.
