Is it dangereous to delay child vaccine that is supposed to be given at 4 yrs age by a month or so? i think it is just one shot.

No, but: It is fine to delay the shot if/when it would interfere with the other things you have going on. Sometimes we do after asking you about family members on chemo or other issues that would be important.But don't forget the need is still there to get these boosters to keep the kid safe.
