Brief Answer:
Suggestions on vaccines

Detailed Answer:
Hi....the principle is 4 vaccines on same day or minimum gap should be 28 days.

Plan like this -
OPV, MMR, vitamin A now.

JE vaccine after a month.

The other plan is giving MMR in one thigh and JE in another thigh and OPV is anyhow oral.

Whether JE is needed or not is decided by the local epidemiology by your pediatrician please.
