Brief Answer:
USA vaccination schedule is slightly different from XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for posting in Health care magic.

I understand your concern. Though the vaccination schedule is a bit different from ours in USA, fundamentally they are the same. You can very well continue your baby's vaccination there. The minor adjustment which may be required will be taken care of by the pediatrician in USA.

I am providing you the vaccination schedule followed there and you will be able to see that their schedule is flexible and there will be no problem in continuing vaccination there.

No special letter is required but you should carry your baby's vaccination card, birth certificate and previous prescription of pediatricians.
