Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, you need to vaccinate the child. If you worry about Corona, it is not going to disappear anytime soon. You cannot delay the vaccine for an uncertain time. Government hospitals have a fixed day (Wednesday) for vaccination. They have a separate queue. If you prefer a private hospital, make sure it has all the necessary precautions and take the baby to that hospital only.

Preventive measures

Mother or father should take the baby for vaccination. Do not make older people, sick people to accompany you. Wear mask. Follow social distancing. Wash hands and change clothes immediately after reaching house. Preferably use your own vehicle to travel. Avoid crowded bus or autos.
