Definitely dont take the child to hospital. Most likely ur due vaccine is measles/MMR. Yes, u can wait for the scheduled vaccination. Drawback is to contract the infection. Keep him at home, stay home. Stay safe.

Yes the vaccination can be delayed by 2-3 months as the vaccines to be given are Typhoid conjugate vaccine and MMR. Give clean hygienic food( homemade)and water to avoid any chances of typhoid infection.
