Probably: In general, vaccines are to prevent infectious diseases that are very serious and often fatal. Not having them should not affect his ability to undergo surgery or anesthesia. However, he is at risk for contracting these diseases at any time and i would recommend getting him up to date.

Yes, but get updated: There should be no contra-indications preventing your son from having his scheduled oral surgery, but be sure to get back on track with his necessary vaccines. While there is unsubstantiated information about possible negative side effects from vaccines, medical research has proven them safe! just read your history books of the millions who died from disease that we vaccinate against today!
