Many parents have questions about which immunization schedule to follow – Indian or Japanese.
Our daughter was born in India. She was in India for first 3 months and later came to Japan.
We chose to take some vaccination in India and some in Japan. Our criterian for deciding this was :
- Whatever needs to be given one time and within 3 months – we will give in India
- Polio was yearly so we decided to give that during our yearly visit in India
- All others in Japan.
Our daughter had natural vaccination of chicken pox at the age of 2.5 years 🙂
