Question:
During the 9 days might be a convenient time for me to bring my 1 year old child to the doctor for a well visit and vaccinations. Since this is a more dangerous time should I rather wait until after tisha b’av?
Thank you very much
Answer:
During the nine days we abstain from doing dangerous things. It does not seem that doing a well visit or vaccinations woud be considered dangerous, therefore it would be permitted.
