Ideally, it should be given in the 10th month. Considering the fact that measles is prevalent in summer, it is not advisable to prolong the vaccination. You may visit the PHC when it is less crowded.

It is not advisable to delay the vaccination any further.
Try going when it is less crowded, if possible.
Wear a mask before entering. Try not to touch anything. Ideally only one attendant should be with the baby.
Try not to touch anything at the PHC. If they vaccinate on a bed, You can carry a cloth to keep your baby on, so that the surface doesn't come directly in contact with him.
Carry a change of clothes for him. You can change him on the way back.
Give him a bath as soon as you reach home.
