strongly encouraged yes.

and govt polyclinics/hospitals

not always and some vaccines have a higher chance of giving babies fever (sometimes upto 2 weeks after vaccination). however, fever after vaccination is rare and generally does not affect the baby

Thanks Dr fahir!

by law only the diphtheria and rubella vaccines are 'must do' . however it is very strongly encouraged to follow the entire vaccine schedule to protect ur child as well as other children (herd immunity)

glad to help!
