Hi lybrate-user,
Don't worry if he did't get the vaccination scar. Scar will appear in most people vaccinated with BCG, but not everyone. If your child did't have this reaction to the vaccine, it does not mean that they have not responded to it. There's no need to re-vaccination.

Of course yes. Surprising to see that not a single vaccine was administered so far very much unsafe practice.

It is possible for your baby to get his missed vaccination at a later date. However, it is strongly recommended to follow the proper time schedule suggested by the doctors. Let's connect over a call for further detailed discussion.
Thanks.

When in Ireland follow their advice and once he comes here, follow Indian schedule of vaccination. It will not make any difference to child's health. Meanwhile be happy that you are blessed.

Hello lybrate-user, some babies fail to develope scar after bcg vaccination esp. When given immediately after birth, but that does not mean that, she has not developed immunity, so no need to repeat vaccine.

BCG, oral Polio, hepatitis b in first week. @6 wk DPT, IPV HIB HBV. But you really need to meet pediatrician to understand what it is. There are too many options for vaccines to be advised online.
