Missed Vaccines in School-Age Children: What Parents in India Should Know

Many school-going children in India miss one or more vaccines due to illness, lockdowns, travel, or busy schedules. The good news is that missed vaccines can usually be given later through a catch-up vaccination schedule.

Missing a vaccine does not mean your child has lost protection forever—but delaying too long increases the risk of infection.

Common vaccines missed by school-age children
• MMR booster
• DTaP / DTwP booster
• Polio (IPV) booster
• Typhoid vaccine
• Hepatitis A & B
• Annual flu vaccine

Why catch-up vaccination is important
• School environments increase exposure to infections
• Outbreaks spread quickly in classrooms and buses
• Some diseases cause severe illness in older children
• Catch-up restores full immunity safely
Important points for parents
• Multiple vaccines can be given safely in one visit
• A missed vaccine does not need restarting from zero
• Schedule is adjusted based on child’s age, not birth date

If you’re unsure whether your child’s vaccines are complete, a simple review can clarify what is needed.

Parents/ Adults in Borivali, Mumbai this is something most families overlook.

Many adults believe vaccines are only for children. In reality, in India we are exposed daily to crowded travel, changing weather, outside food, and seasonal infections yet adult vaccination is often ignored until illness strikes.
Every week, I meet adults who are hospitalised with flu, pneumonia, or hepatitis conditions that could have been prevented or reduced in severity with timely vaccination.

A few facts every adult should know:

• Immunity from childhood vaccines reduces over time
• Infections are more severe in adults, especially after 50 years
• Diabetes, asthma, heart disease increase complication risk
• Adults can unknowingly infect elderly parents and children
• Prevention is easier than treatment

In my clinical practice in Borivali, I see that adults who review their vaccines regularly fall sick less often and recover faster.

Adult vaccination is not about fear it is about responsible family healthcare.

Adult Vaccination Checklist in India: Which Vaccine Do You Need?

In India, many adults miss vaccinations because they assume childhood vaccines are enough. However, immunity reduces over time, and exposure risks in Indian settings—crowded travel, food and water hygiene, seasonal infections—make adult vaccination essential.

Adults 18–49 years (India)
• Influenza (Flu) – every year
• Tdap – one dose in adulthood
• Hepatitis B – if not fully vaccinated
• COVID booster – as per current national guidance
Adults 50–59 years
• All of the above
• Pneumococcal vaccine – if smoker or chronic illness
• Hepatitis A – if not taken earlier

Adults 60 years and above
• Flu vaccine – every year
• Pneumococcal vaccine
• Tdap booster
• COVID booster as advised

High-risk adults (any age)
• Diabetes, asthma, heart, kidney or liver disease
• Weak immunity or long-term steroid use
• Healthcare workers and caregivers
Why adult vaccination matters in India
• Higher exposure to infections
• Greater risk of complications
• Reduces hospitalisation and missed work
• Protects family members at home
Adult vaccination is a simple but powerful step towards preventive healthcare in India.

“Perfect parents” are a myth.
What children truly need is not perfection but presence.

The best gifts you can give your child are time and, where possible, a sibling.
Shared laughter, sibling fights, making up again, waiting for turns, learning empathy these everyday moments quietly shape emotional strength and social skills.

Luxury schools, fancy playdates, branded toys, and packed schedules may look impressive, but they can never replace connection.

Children remember:

Being heard, not being hurried

Shared meals, not premium menus

Bedtime stories, not expensive gadgets

Unstructured play, not over-structured calendars

Parenting is not about creating a perfect childhood it’s about creating a secure, loving environment where children feel valued and safe to be themselves.

Your time, attention, and consistency matter far more than any material upgrade.

Because at the end of the day,
children don’t need perfect parents
they need present ones.

Adult Vaccination: Why Immunisation Should Continue Beyond Childhood

Many people believe vaccines are only for children. In reality, adults also need vaccines to maintain protection, prevent severe illness, and protect vulnerable family members at home.

Immunity from childhood vaccines can reduce over time, and adults are exposed to infections at workplaces, public transport, travel, and social gatherings.

Chronic illnesses, stress, poor sleep, and ageing further weaken immune response.

Why adult vaccination matters
• Prevents severe infections and complications
• Reduces hospitalisation and missed workdays
• Protects elderly parents, children, and pregnant family members
• Helps control spread of infections in the community

Common vaccines recommended for adults
• Influenza (Flu) – every year
• Tdap – once, then booster as advised
• Hepatitis B – if not fully vaccinated earlier
• Hepatitis A – especially for travellers
• Pneumococcal vaccine – elderly and high-risk adults
• COVID boosters – as per current guidance

Who should be extra careful
• Adults above 60 years
• People with diabetes, asthma, heart or kidney disease
• Healthcare workers and caregivers
• Adults with frequent infections

Adult vaccination is a key part of preventive healthcare, not an emergency decision.

Expecting parents in Borivali, this is something many families miss.

Every year, I meet new parents who are extremely careful after delivery but don’t realise that newborn protection actually starts during pregnancy.

Whooping cough (pertussis) can be very dangerous for newborns, especially in the first 2–3 months of life. Babies cannot take this vaccine at birth, which is why protection has to come from the mother.

A few important points every expecting parent should know:

• Newborns have an immature immune system
• They cannot receive Tdap immediately after birth
• Severe pertussis can cause breathing difficulty and hospitalisation
• Protection in early life comes from maternal antibodies
• Tdap during pregnancy helps protect the baby until their own vaccines start

As a doctor practicing in Borivali Mumbai, I’ve seen that parents who receive the right guidance during pregnancy feel more confident and prepared after delivery.

Pregnancy vaccinations are not optional extras they are a protective shield for the newborn.

If you’re expecting and want to know when Tdap is recommended during pregnancy, comment “TDAP” below.
