I have a 4 months old son born in USA. We came back to India after completing the 4 months vaccination schedule there. Should he be given any other vaccination apart from what he has already taken? I know that BCG is not given in USA so should he be given the BCG vaccine here in India ? Please help me with your suggestions.

Yes, he should receive BCG vaccination. The need for the rest of vaccinations can only be decided after we know the vaccines that the child has received.
