hi My son is 18 months now born on nov 21 2012. we stay in ambala - had been to the doc on Apr-3rd-2014 to giv the MMR1 & THE Varicella 1[optional] The Pediatrician said since the stock isn t available he only gave the MMR1 & told us to come again on May 3rd 2014, when we went on May 3rd he said the same and asked us to come by june 3rd for Varicella1 but instead gave [DTwp, OPV4, Hib B1 = this came in a single dose] My question is 1- if the vaccinations are given plus or minus 1-2 months is it ok?? 2- is the painless vaccinations banned? if yes why whats the cause

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
There is no problem if the vaccines are delayed for 1-2 months.
The painless vaccine is still available and is not banned.
But a recent article in one of the medical journal says that painless vaccine is less effective.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
