Regarding my baby's 1.5 month vaccine
Hello Doctor,
My baby is 1.5 months old. As per schedule, his vaccination date has approached. We took him to a local Anganvadi, they said baby just weighs 2.9 kg and is underweight for vaccine. His birth weight was 2.2 kg. They are suggesting to delay his vaccination schedule by 1 month. That means, his 1.5 months vaccine will be given after 2.5 months, and 2.5 months vaccine after 3.5 months.
Is it ok to delay vaccination?

You can take vaccine now
Underweight is not a reason to delay vaccination
But you need to take measures to increase the weight of child

As such can be taken at 2.9kg not an issue.
But if they don't agree then delay is also okay
