Yes, it is not too late. If your child has received all the government (UIP) vaccines, the missed optional vaccines can often be given as catch-up vaccines, depending on which ones were missed. At 2 years of age, vaccines such as Hepatitis A, Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine, Varicella (Chickenpox), Influenza, and catch-up doses of Pneumococcal vaccine may still be recommended based on your child’s previous vaccination record.
Next Steps
Please visit your pediatrician with your child’s vaccination card. A catch-up vaccination schedule can be planned according to the vaccines already received. Your child’s current weight is also appropriate to assess during the visit.

Hello,
Government immunization programs cover the core vaccines recommended under the National Immunization Schedule, while private vaccination schedules include additional vaccines that provide broader protection.
Since your child is around 2 years old, you may discuss the following vaccines with your pediatrician if they have not already been received:
* Typhoid vaccine
* Influenza (flu) vaccine (annual)
* Hepatitis A vaccine
* Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine
Please note that under the government schedule, children usually receive the MR (Measles-Rubella) vaccine. In private practice, an MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine is typically recommended between 4 and 6 years of age.( second booster)
A single dose of the meningococcal vaccine may also be considered for children aged 2 years or older, depending on individual risk factors and your pediatrician’s recommendation.
Kindly consult your nearby pediatrician to review your child’s vaccination record and determine which vaccines are appropriate based on age and previous immunizations.

Hello,
Yes, your daughter can still receive the missed optional (private) vaccines. There rae few vaccines which are not covered in National immunisation schedule and can be easily given at 2 years of age.
These vaccines are Typhoid conjugate vaccine, Hepatitis A, Varicella (chickenpox)- 2 daoses, Influenza (yearly), and MMR.
Also pneumococcal conjugate vaccine if you are not resident of Delhi and if not covered in your national immunisation schedule.
Thanks
