Ask your doctor: It's always best to get the vaccines for your child according to the recommended schedule. If you miss a vaccine, or one is delayed, your doctor can develop a schedule for catch up to make sure your child gets the complete set of vaccines. Most of the vaccines can be given at the same time as any of the others.

Not advised: It is not a huge problem if you miss a dose of vaccines. Hepatitis- if your child has no high risk behaviors, it can wait. Ipv- polio is unlikely in the continental United States so if it is a few months late, no problem. Rotavirus cannot be given after 8 months so ask your pediatrician bout that. Hib can be caught up later. Often less reactions to all vaccines when given a little older.
