It’s ok to postpone the vaccination . Everything in science is according to the risk to benefit ratio, now the risk of going out for getting the vaccination is more than the benefit of getting the vaccine . So please wait until this ratio tilts , that is until the lockdown period is over .

Dont worry, as per Indian Academy of Pediatrics, you can delay the vaccination in the lockdown by 1 month and otherwise also, 2 months for 1st year vaccination can be delayed in cases of emergency. It's better to keep the baby safe inside and unexposed to ongoing viruses.

Hi mommy! Dont worry. You can give the vaccine couple of weeks later after lockdown ends. That will not affect baby.
