    Do not know much about baby's vaccination on visitors insurance. Better to call ahead and confirm what they cover even if someone affirms.

    Do carry all your vaccination cards from Indian docs and you can ask your current doctor also. If you are coming in June and you need vaccination in July, do not if you will get the appointment that early or not. You may have to call ahead to book the appointments which of course can be delayed if travel plans change.

    I had hard time finding appointment for my ailing father on visitors visa. all the appointments were 1.5 months far.

    Why don't you ask your doctor in India to do the vaccination in June before you fly? That way baby's vaccinations can be upto date and you dont have to worry about getting appointment.

    My paed in US usually does this before we fly to India.

    My understanding is, you will have to mention to the insurance company if you have ay per-existing needs (such as vaccinations) before you buy the policy. In that case, they will be covered. You will have to call the insurance agency, BEFORE paying the premium as the premium may depend on it.
