It is ideal to give influenza (h1n1) vaccine in may or June just before monsoon season. Influenza vaccine contains 4 common types on influenza viruses which can change every year. But is not mandatory. Flu can occur in winter or other seasons also. Also every year new content is there in the flu vaccine. So you should take the vaccine ideally when the new vaccine is released for that year. Your Pediatrician can guide you.

It's necessary to give flu vaccine at 6 and 7 months as there are both strains available in market as per season so no need to postpone rather to give it
Monsoon basis best is to give at July to September
