A 9-month-old unvaccinated child is brought to the immunization clinic. As per the NIS, which vaccines should be given at this visit?

• A BCG, OPV-1, Pentavalent-1, MR-1
• B MR-1, DPT-1, Hepatitis B-1, Vitamin A-1
• C MR-1, OPV-1, Pentavalent-1, IPV-1
• D MR-1, JE-1 (in endemic districts), Vitamin A-1 ✓

Explanation

At 9 months, the NIS recommends MR-1, JE-1 (in Japanese Encephalitis endemic districts), and Vitamin A-1. BCG, OPV, Pentavalent, and IPV are given earlier (birth to 14 weeks). A 9-month-old unvaccinated child should receive catch-up doses of missed vaccines, but the scheduled 9-month visit specifically includes MR-1, JE-1, and Vitamin A-1.
