As long as you can produce immunization certificate during primary one registration, I suppose u can opt to delay.

That said however, the immunization are normally scheduled to be taken at different phases/ages of the child's life for a reason. You should research further on these important details prior to proceeding with your decision.

We are talking about a child's health here so better not take things lightly.

Hi, can we give Rotavirus to 5 weeks old baby?

Nope. On our end, pneumococcal was briefed to us as an option.

I try not to delay any immunisation.

When my child was 5 last year, I brought her for PNC B1 (Pneummococcal) jab. This is the 5th (latest) Pneummococcal jab that is recommended but not compulsory. In addition, MMRV D2 (Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Vaccine) the latest jab was taken together with Pneummococcal jab. That means my child does not need to take any jab when in P1. The Certificate of Vaccination was issued last year too. Was advised to keep it and use for P1 registration.
