Hi Vidhukumar,

First of all sorry if my response is late. Hope it reaches you on time and is of use.

I had travelled a couple of years back with my kid who was at that time 10months old. I visited a travel clinic and the specialist there advised no shots before completion of 1 year. Instead they gave me formulated capsules for malaria. Measles they said not required unless a year old.

Otherwise, if you are on schedule with the vaccinces for your 7 month old then it is completely fine.

Have a safe trip and enjoy!

Warm regards,
Rohini
