    During Pregnancy its advised to take TT(normally two dose).
    At birth LO is given BCG and followed with an array of vaccinations.
    Till around 18months you have to take your LO for vaccinations every other month.
    You can opt out of some vaccinations if you odnt feel the need to . For e.g. PCV,H1N1 etc.
    Apart from this you need to administer polio vaccination from PHC/CHC.
    This drive happens mostly during Dec-Jan every year till 5years of age.
    (There will be other centres too other than health centres)
    Go to this site to know more about the vaccination schedule :
    Indian Medical Association
