Hello mam. I understand your point. Due to prevalent situation of Covid 19 the government of India has recommended to delay all routine services including vaccinations to avoid overcrowding at hospitals. Since you and child is at home only supposedly, there is no chances of infection and vaccination can be safely deferred till lockdown.
Next Steps
Once lockdown is lifted, please get both scheduled vaccinations in fixed 28 days duration between 2 doses and avoid delay further.
Health Tips
Stay at home and Rest reassured
