Agree Divya that going to hospital is important than pooja..

May be they will show it in next episodes.. but as of now the message is incomplete and shown as UB is right and she came down to an extent that she is fine taking kids to hospital
But just out of my curiosity, it was only vaccination right which could waited at least till evening or so.. And moreover it is not like vaccination start reacting immediately it would take couple of weeks. So there was an interaction with other kids who has Chicken pox, this vaccination will not hel., pls correct me if am wrong
My only point here is to CV not to show CC that innocent , give strong dialogues to counter UB
Re your last point, I agree ... they should have given some strong dialogue to Chhanchhan to the effect that she did not know the time of pooja, they got held up otherwise they would have been back on time, and she did feel that getting the shots was more important than the pooja ...
Regarding vaccination ... if the kids were being given immunoglobulin as preventive, which would be the case here, then it IS important to give it as soon as possible, definitely withing 24-48 hours, but the sooner the better. Since this was a post-exposure preventive, it would be the immunoglobulin now, and the regular vaccination later. Hence the sooner the better, and definitely taking precedence over any poojas!
The flip side is that normally if kids are exposed to chicken pox, if they are in good health, immunoglobulin is not really required ... UNLESS there are other susceptible people in the house who could get the infection, among which include pregnant women, or women who might be pregnant in very early stages - that's when infection is the most dangerous, when they might not even know yet they are pregnant. And with four young bahus in the house, that is always a possibility.
Besides the kids had apparently not received any vaccinations at all after one year of age, so they were way behind! Starting off the backlog of missed shots certainly ranks higher in importance in my mind than any pooja. Shots will have some benefit ... pooja has none ... it is ONLY for the benefit of Umaben's superstitions ... no other reason. I see no reason to pander to such beliefs at all ... they are to be discouraged ... and the first step is to show that they are unimportant.
I hope that some of the kids' friends who have religiously gone through the poojas at the right time and ignored their shots, actually get the disease, while these three kids stay safe ... hence Chhanchhan's point will be proved.
Umm ... I am Diya ... not Divya 😛
