Will A Child Be Affected If Missed His 2 Month Vaccine?

We have not received a letter from the health center to say I need to bring my son in for his diptheria, tetanus, polio, whooping cough and Hib vaccines. He is now 3 months so wiill need his 3 months vaccines too. I rang the center and was told I should get a letter soon!?!? Will my son be affected as he has missed his 2 month vaccine?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
welcome to HCM,
I understand your concern , It is not clear from your question whether he received Ist dose of these vaccines at 1.5 - 2 months of age or not . If received Ist dose , then second dose can be taken after 1-2 months , there is no affect. If Ist dose of these vaccines not received at all , than till the vaccines are received , there is increased risk of diseases prevented by these vaccines till vaccinated.Once vaccinated , child will be protected as normally vaccinated child.
Hope I answered your query,
