Brief Answer:
Vaccination is not an emergency so you can put it after the lockdown

Detailed Answer:
Hi... I understand your concern.
Be rest assured that your kid has got at least one dose of 6 weeks vaccination.
As vaccination is not an emergency I do not suggest going to the hospital for that sake risking the exposure.
I suggest you go ahead with the vaccinations as per schedule after the lifting of lockdown.
