At 14 moths of age, besides government vaccines.. the baby should hv received mmr, typhoid, Cp, pneumococcal, and flu. All of these are relevant and important in the Indian context..depending on your state, availability of vaccine etc .. what is ultimately given also varies.
Would suggest u meet your paediatrician to sort out the issues.

Government vaccination schedule includes essential vaccines which are part of national significance.It usually doesn't include flu vaccine, varicella vaccine, Pneumococcal vaccine and Typhoid vaccine at your baby's age
Next Steps
Check with your local pediatrician for coverage. Getting these vaccines is good for long term health benefits
