Required vaccinations

Based on health booklet, it only mentions the “age” e.g 1 month, 3 months etc Should the required vaccinations be done before LO turns 1 month? Or within that 1 month (before it reaches 2nd month). My LO is 2 weeks now. I called polyclinic to make appt for the 1 month vaccine and she gave me 23 Jan which means my LO will be 1 month and 2 weeks by then. I asked her about it and she said it’s supposed to do the vaccine after baby is 1 month. But I read that some ppl did the vaccine before LO turns 1 month. Wondering which is the correct way?

1 month usually means at or after baby turns 1 month old. If you’re late for any of them, they will adjust the schedule to let you catch up. If you’re keen for the rotavirus vaccine (optional), the 2 doses (1 month apart) need to be completed before 6 months of age.

For some vaccines, polyclinic nurse does indicate when is the latest to take. 1 month means after baby turns 1 month old, etc.
